I'm looking for a pair of component speakers and would like some recommendations. I use to have JL Audio XRs and absolutely loved them, but now I don't have them, and I only have $150 max for speakers. And yes, I will power them with an amp.
I listened to the Alpine S-Type components the other day at Circuit City, but they really sounded bad. The highs were just too harsh and sounded nothing close to natural. I listened to the Infinity Reference as well while I was there. Significantly better and more natural than the S-Type's. They were ok.
I'm going to listen to some Alpine R-Type's and Infinity Kappa's today. I definitely want components. Any comments or recommendations?
Well if your budget doesn't include shipping, then the Zeb has some nice CDT 6.5" components for $150. Check it out:

Stupid ass Sound Advice. I go to Sound Advice today to listen to the Infinity Kappa's and Alpine R-Types, and sure enough... they don't carry either. I really don't get that store. They had JL Audio XR, MB Quarts Ref and Qs, and then Alpine S-Types and Pioneer's first line of speakers (the cheap blue ones). From $50 to some MB Quarts that were retailed at $1300! That's expensive for car audio... for me at least.
I did listen to the MB Quarts Reference though. Those REALLY sounded nice. Hopefully I will find a place this weekend to listen to R-Types and Kappas. If not, I think I might go with MB Quarts. I found a pair for $150 new online.
