Boston is good. Alittle bright.
I forgot to mention JL. They make great stuff, but I'm not a huge fan since I like other brands for less money. Friend took a set of JL XR components next to a basic pair of CDT components, and sold the JLs right afterwards. The CDTs just blew them away.
My current system is CDT euro-carbon with upgrade silk tweets and crossovers, pioneer 860 premier headunit, Cadence 100x2 amp for speakers, cadence 750x1 amp for a CDT HD 12" sub. Good budget setup. Everything I think cost $1300 or so.

Hey thanks, that only makes me more dangerous than the next guy. :twisted:
Speakers more so than electronics are personal preference, if they do not sound good to you they are simply not worth a plum nickel. Does not make them bad speakers just not your cup of tea.
No one said mobile audio was difficult or expensive and 1 G should get you well within the ball park.

There are tons of good brands. I don't know why most people like junk. Once you hear some good stuff, there is simply no competition.
Focals are amazing. Dynaudios are a close second from what I've heard. I don't like MBQ, but they aren't bad if you like their sound. Morel, DSL, ID all make great speakers also.
Another brand I like is Oz.
