Buying Speakers is like buying shoes, you really have to try them on to get the perfect fit.

There is so much variation between all the speakers out there that to be sure you have the ones which sound best to you, you have to listen to several different kinds.

Focals are great, my personal choice, but they have a lot of presence, and not everyone likes their crispness.

Boston Accoustics are good, but less crisp.

JL's are OK - definitely above Kenwood, Pioneer or Sony, but personally, I don't care for them though they do make some good amps and subs. Same with Alpine.

Visit a high-end car audio shop where they'll have many different setups side-by-side so you can hear the differences. Of course, what you hear in the store will not exactly mimic the conditions or sound in your car, but it is a fair indicator.
