Sound system. 1 brand it all, which?

You know what...I must be a downer. Cause I'm thinking almost the opposite. Granted, the Alpine has some features on thier some of thier units throughout the entire line, Ai Net, that allows "deeper" integration between peices, I just can't believe what I'm hearing here.

Alpine's speakers work with Alpine amplifiers just as well as let's say infinity speakers would with the same Alpine amplifiers. Good lord! Don't pick the same brand jsut because it looks the same or the head has the same material (plastic) as the speakers. Just playing on that one.

I'm simply playing devil's advocate here.

Pick a component, whatever the brand is because it sounds better than another one. Isn't that the point? If it is an Alpine, more power to your ears.

Oh, by the way, if I had to choose an inclusive manufacturer setup...it'd be Alpine. I'm on your side, just trying to assist in seeing all angles.

Id say Focal, but then you would match it with an amp from radio shack..

Alpine has a good range to choose from, but I would suggest having a listen to as many different setups before buying.

competely agree here. its just like a home system. the best setups out there rarely involve speakers matching the amp. shit, some good systems gots completely different brands for every component, from preamp, to amp, to receiver, to cd/dvd player, let alone different speakers. but i also agree, if you needs one brand, go alpine...
