Yes, I have 2 sets (4 total) of the component speakers for front and rear. I have the Refrence line, the next model up is the Kappa line which sounds a little better and costs more, and then there's the Perfect line which are their high end and cost big-bucks.

The Refrence speakers sound amazing, and they only get better as you go higher up the model line.

Try www.ikesound.com for those - they've got good prices on em.

I have cerwin vegas also in my car and they sound awesome on moderate levels. Any speaker when cranked up will sound about the same: distorted. 50 watts rms is alot and will be loud. Out of the brands you mentioned, go will focal or MB quart. The infinity Kappa is also a great choice. Mid range speakers do complete the system. you need a balanced sound stage. If there is too much bass, it doesnt sound balanced. Focal is one of the top of the line, and thats wut i would use. I added a focal tweeter to my a-frame, and i had to turn the treble down to -2  on the head unit otherwise it was too much. thats how good they are!

Power handleing on a speaker means nothing.  It all depends on how the speaker can take the power it is given and put it out loud and clear.

Here's a fact.  The best car audio speakers in the world are only rated at 50 wrms, and $5000.

I can guarantee you wont want to even try to feed a true 50 wrms to your speakers, you will go deff.  A true 25 rms is too loud to stand usually.

Basically what im saying is, stop looking at the power handleing , and start listening for what your ears want to buy, not your eyes.

Peace out....
