Other speakers to check out, DLS, diamond, rainbow, crystal audio. |

Silver Member Username: QuirkySA, Texas Post Number: 124 Registered: Feb-07 | thxs 4 the advice. i went by a store today and ended up getting some Focals for 200 on sale. i hooked them up and wow, they sound bad asz even without an amp. only downfall is when i turn the bass up from -10 to 0 and crank the volume, i loose sound quality. |
