The best component speaker can run into the couple thousands and up. I got my CDT Audio EF-61's 6.5' Front Component Speaker Set for $150 and I think they are the best components for under $200. I got them through a retailer on SoundDomain.com They are driven by an Alpine MRV-T420 and get about 150 watts a side, 300 total. They sound extremely clean at high volumes and have pretty good mid-bass.
