I wanna see what everyone thinks is the best brand/model in each of these categories. This is completely personal opinion.

Cdplayer head unit------

Speakers------------------

Subs------------------------

Amplifier--------------------

 

Head Unit - Alpine
Speakers - Infinity
Subs - Alpine type Rs
Amp - Phenoix Gold

 

HU - Nakamichi, Denon, Eclipse or Alpine (in that order)
Speakers - Focal, Adire, Morel, Scan-Speak, Image Dynamics
Subs - Digital Designs, Resonant Engineering, Elemental Design, Image Dynamics, Adire
Amps - JBL, PPI, older Soundstream stuff.

 

Nice one Hank.

Nakamichi
Adire
Resonant Engineering
PPI
Done

 

The BEST?

HU: SQ: Nachamichi, Denon, Pioneer, Alpine, Eclipse
SPL: Blaupunkt (least pause between tracks), RF, Eclipse
Speakers: Focal (sound like B&W home), MB Quart, JL
Amps: Zapco, JL, Audison
Subs: SQ: JL W7 (of course, nothing plays that loud and flat)
SPL: RE, Adire, Beyond Audio (custom)

My DREAM system would be:

Pioneer Deck
2xFocal or JL 6.5", 3", Tweeter combo
1xFocal or JL 6.5" Coax
3xZapco 6.0CK (Biamp front, XO rear)
4xZapco 9.0CK
1x15" Beyond Audio Inhuman Quad 1ohm Coils

OK, must stop dreaming...
