[QUOTE="krisfnbz, post: 8706428, member: 570594"] You could probably cut your budget nearly in half and still come up with a system you would be very happy with. No need to throw money away. Strong front midbass is overrated. It's one of the least important parts of this entire build, imo. Not where my money would go. Sure it is nice, but it requires so much more effort and even after proper equipment and deadening, its still a pain to deal with. Just play the sub up to 100-125hz. This is not a popular opinion. I would go with these component speakers in the front. Excellent value. I have hear these speakers in several setups over the years. They are winners.
