I just wanted some people to post their experiences with some of their top choice component sets and approx. cost for them. Thanks

(sorry if this has been covered before but I was bored, lazy, and curious)

 

You are going to have to narrow it down JUST a bit.

Component sets run from $99 to like $10K+

 

Anything Rainbow. The line you will go with depends on your budget.

 

You have to judge for yourself. All of the better brands will sound great, but what I like may be different than what you like. Diamond, Rainbow, Focal, all are really good, but your budget and your taste is what really matters.

 

I concur...

 

ok lets narrow it to sets under $1000. my ears are extra sensitive to highs so a nothing to harsh on the upper end for me but beyond what i am looking for im just interested in everyones experiences and fav sets

 

I suggest Germaniums. Nice silk tweet. The set will provide excelent midbass with a properly deadened door.

 

Depends what you listen to, what theyll be powered with and how.... Actively or passive.

Personally

Rainbow
Dynaudio
Morel
DLS
would be my top choices.

Focal is a solid product, but surely to harsh for my tatses and others listed above have proven themselves to equal or exceed what Focal can do and typically at a lower price point.

 

go with morel if your ears are sensitive to highs

 

I listened to Don and am very happy with my Germaniums. I was thinking of going for a set that cost more, but that was not necessary.

 

is it poss. to get a ballpark figure on the germainiums? morels?

 

Germs are gonna be like $500 IIRC, or was it $450?

 

PM Don, he will set you up.

 

That is what I would do .

 

They're between 450 and 500.

 

450 for Germs...Morel is all dependant which set...

 

does morel have a good set in the 300-400 dallar range(or even cheaper) that would be worth my time?

 

i still love my momos

 

i think momos are a great deal, ive seen them sell for 200 bucks, and they can handle good power.

 

Momo's are high school stuff homes...

All the European brands named above offer entry level highend to super high end, and have models across budgets. All are proven , and audiophile grade.
Theres a whole world outside the crutchfield/best buy/circuit city stuff.

 

ya as a side note i work at best buy so am capable of getting some stuff at great prices but am thinking there just isn't anything quite good enough that we carry. the highest end we have is infinity kappa perfect

 

And their tweeters are so harsh they hurt.

 

i know people that loves HARSH sounding tweets. all they care is that it's audible outside their rides

 

I can hear my tweeters outside my car

 

well, i can hear my POS stockers as well...but i'm talking about blocks away...

i think there's this white tahoe in my area with tweets dangling from the A pillars, somehow made to aim out the window. i remember seeing him at a stoplight a few streets down from my house.

 

Lol blocks away. I can't hear it from 10 feet away, but right outside, sure.

Dampening FTW.

 

Thats gay lol. Tweets outside the car.... they always sound distorted outside the car.

 

so the best under 500 would be some type of rainbows from the sound of it... which is cool with me

 

Yes some kind of rainbows. Germaniums to be precise.

 

Germs FTW !

 

Dammit i want some Germs to play with! If the wife ever allowed me to throw bumps in the Pathfinder

 

allow?? Whatcha talkin bout? just do it !!

 

+1....................................im such a hypocrit

 

All this speakers cost tooo much, i was looking for something around $300.

I found this Focal speakers Focal 165 K2 PolyKevlar
here is the link: http://www.speakersound.com/


Are they any good?? and if i get a Zapco amp (Zapco 350)100W x 2 at 4 ohm stereo, is this amp going to be underpowered for this Focal speakers?

 

armeng you should have gotten on the soundline group deal $220 and you would have been one happy camper.

 

for $300 you can easily get soundlines...

 

you should chill out with this online buying, your gonna end up taking a chance in getting a fake or real pair of speakers, then when something goes wrong 2 months later, the company you bought it from was shut down for either selling the items without permission or for selling fraud items.

 

I havent gotten anything yet, i was wondering if these speakers are any good, plus i dont know anywhere near Los Angeles to get speakers.
and another thing whats the soundlines???
is it a speakers??
