Message	And let me tell you, you get what you pay for. I'm all about clarity when cranking it up as I've outgrown the BOOM shake (I'm such an old man). As such, the FoCal's were a nice upgrade from my Boston Acoustic Pro Series. In fact, they absolutely blow away the other two listed speakers, and they should given the cost. However, getting the FoCal's is a bit more expensive overall since you'll want to get a damn good amp to take advantage of them. They'll take just about as much power as you can throw at them without any distortion. So the cost is more than you'd think overall. As such, your best bet of those three is likely the Kappas. I had JBL components when I was a kid and frankly, they blew. Maybe they've improved, but I doubt it...they are kinda low on the totem pole of quality. ...then again, you did mention this badass job you got. Get the FoCals if you can. Or better yet, some DynAudios for over $1,000 ;) Good luck man. My 300Zs: www.zheaven.com - Have a question about either of my 300ZXs? Answers lie within.
