Well, my goal is to purchase a set of components that can reproduce music loudly and clearly. I don't like the sound of my Alpines as they are harsh at louder volumes and at lower the vocals seem to be competing with the low end that the 6x9s I have are producing. So I pretty much know any component set is made to work together for a whole/complete sound but I want something that can do this even when I pump the volume past 50%... So basically, loud and clear.. and one set so I don't have to work harder to set it up. Also, I want it to be able to for it to blend a bit with the Icon I will eventually get from SSA. If that doesn't make sense, then I don't know what does. The other thread mainly was looking for something to compete with insanely loud subwoofers, which I will not even own or want.
