I have also heard that the utopia set sounds amazing, but if your going to throw out brands for components you cant forget hertz, Audison, DLS,Morel and rainbow. Now lets come back down to earth lol on the prices. Good budget components would be Image dynamics cxs, Hybrid audio(HAT) imagines, infinity kappa perfect, DLS, and also heard great things about crescendo. Honestly this could be a whole new thread lol so lets not jack this one about it :-P
