Last time I had a system, Rainbow was the current boner. I am still looking at the profi kicks (again)...

Curious what the new boner is.

Does it matter?

Hard to beat the value of a paper-coned midbass and textile tweet bi-amped...especially used.

Not really...just exploring what's out there. Depth and needing an angled tweeter mount keep me away from DIY...at least on the home side. I doubt I ever use a passive crossover.

Glad sounding good was a primary concern.

Maybe 6spd will have a group buy to bring the boner back?

i think were between boners at the moment because rainbows went out of style and everyone raved about the PG's, about how they were giving them twice their power and how great they were. then a few weeks later there were like 20 threads about blown tweets, and people couldnt figure out why lol

been hearing alot about the ID XS and CXS lately. look nice but too rich for my blood.

There doesn't seem to be a specific boner right now. Rainbow is still mentioned as is Hertz and CDT. Personally if I had money I would look at DLS, Morel or Dynaudio, possibly some Focal sets.

LPG 25NFA & angle mount kit: http://www.solen.ca/pub/cms_nf_catalogue.php?man=16

Vifa also made one, was the tweet in the Alpine Type X's a couple years back, but I think Madisound stopped selling the angle bracket for it.

What do you have for mounting depth?

I looked at the Dyns....a little pricy, but hey.

I had the Hertz Space set...may look at some others.
