Speaker question

tRidiot

Lots of options out there... we really need to know your plans for the rest of the system, as well as your taste and expectations.

What kind of music, how much power you are planning to give them, are you planning a sub or not, and what is your budget?

Older ID used to be good, can't comment on the new company since Matt is not involved with them anymore. I'm a fan of most of CDT's offerings, personally. Currently I'm running Dynaudio, but those are certainly not a budget speaker, nor for the casual enthusiast. What I am NOT a fan of is most of the off-the-shelf component sets offered today by the big-box manufacturers, though again, for the casual listener they are probably fine. Focal as mentioned above is great. Hertz is as well. If you want to go the mix-and-match route and are going to cross them actively, putting together a set from some different manufacturers might be a good option - Scanspeak, Eton, Dayton, Vifa, Seas, Audax, Tang Band - all have a ton of drivers, many of which might fit your application. I'm a big fan of non-mainstream stuff.

I'd be happy to offer some more pointed suggestions with more info on your budget, musical tastes, power available and knowing how in-depth you want to get with your system in terms of output and install. Kicks or doors? Stock locations?

Just way too broad a question, there, man. :/
