Hi all, I eventually plan to go all out on the goody good stuff when I can spend the big bucks on it but as of now it looks like I'll be piecing together a system as I can afford to do so. I would LIKE to just start with a 3 way setup but depending on how much I'll be able to do myself on labor and what ill have to pay for in custom fab plus all the other expenses that go into a system, I'm considering starting with a 2 way in the stock locations. It will be fully active either way so I'm looking at both driver sets from quality brands as well as individual drivers since I'll have a DSP. I'd love to hear some suggestions on quality SQ front stage drivers. Let's say budget of no more than $1000 but if I can get comparable SQ from something 3/4 or half the price I'm open to it for sure. I've been looking at the Seas Silver series on Madisound and really want to try the gold 3 ways when I can afford it. I know that Karma Mobile Audio is preparing to start selling direct to consumers via a new web site coming soon and I've heard good things about their drivers and they would definitely fit the budget even for a 3 way setup. I saw some Illusion Audio 2 way Carbon series online recently for a good price. I feel like you used to be able to find the Hertz Mille Legend stuff online for pretty good money but it looks like prices went up quite a bit. Not sure how they compare to other reference series components from other brands but I'm definitely not gonna be able to obtain Morel Elates, Focal K2 Experts/Utopia or JL Audio C7's etc. I have seen some Dynaudio Esostar drivers for a decent price. One last mention/question is if anyone has heard or has experience with the new Alpine F1's, do you think th are worth the price. I'm not talking about the $30k F1 status kit with everything, just the regular F1 relaunch products. Thanks.
