advice on 3-way components

okay, need some recommendations here. i've got my new 4-channel amp for my highs and it's loud and clean. only problem is that it's loud enough that it's definitely more than my setup now can handle. like a normal person, i should prolly just keep the gain **** down and deal with it, but i'm too picky. now, i've got a 6 3/4 woofer in the door, with a 5 1/4 midrange and 1" tweet in my stock kickpanels. i'd like to keep this setup, but may just have custom kickpanels made to angle the speakers a little better. anyways, i was wanting advice on what to go with. i've been lookin at mb quart and kicker. any other suggestions? i just want a component set that can easily handle a good 60 steady watts to them. also, i've got 12's on the way for the subs, so i'll need something to kinda go along with them. thanks!!

Well, I have the Dynaudio and they are by far one of the best brands you can get, along with FOcal. The catch is they are both pricey with the Dyns being around $1000 for the set. On the good side, they handle up to 200 watts RMS. A really great brand (and imo better than MBs and Kicker mainly because of the sound of the tweets) is CDT. Their 3 way set is around $500 or so, and have a fantastic sound and can handle very wigh wattage as well.
