Hey I feel you about the speakers. I used to work at best buy and all the speakers choices they have there suck. I hated, hated my cerwin vegas but I didnt think the pioneers were much better. I went with the vegas just beause the over all sound is better even though there is no midrange. Oh the the hole pioneer three way and four way thing is crap because I know speakers that are two way that sound a hello of a lot better than the pioneer four way
just my thoughts----chris
