would it be less expensive in the long run to buy the ultimate comps, than to replace them every other year, but which ones to get, where to go and listen to them in person, heck man that's the real problem there isn't enogh venues that stock them so what to do but be like kranch and keep asking over and over until he get the answer he wants and even them he's in the back of his mind he will be asking himself if he got the best money could buy, so yeah I can relate, but hell lets take a poll of the best out there.
I have some cheap pioneers for fronts but i would think the best pioneers will produce a superior sound than most others.
