Question Best components for under $400

Hey all,

Title says it all, I'm looking for the best 6 1/2 components for under $400.00.

Also what amp would you recomend I get to power them and what online store would have the best prices on them..

I belive I have narrowed it down, let me know which you think is the best out of the following

Focal 165ve 3 way polyglass

JL XR 3WAY

Diamond audio s 600 ethier silk or aluminum tweeter

Boston Pro 6.5

Focal 165k2

I'm looking for the best SQ, will 3 way systems make a big diffrence over the 2 ways systems I have listed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Id go with the focal k2s or maybe the diamonds. Have you looked at dynaudio? They are nice, but may be out of your price range. 3 ways will sound a little better (in theory), but the price and finding room for them often isnt worth justifying buying them over a similar set of 2 ways.

get the Zapco reference series, reasonably priced and great product.

If you got a 400 dollar budget go find some CDT HD62 or try to find yourself a nice set of Eurosports on ebay. Probably one of the best components I've ever heard.
