I'd like Alpine amps if they costed less, but they don't. Also, a few of the new V12 series amplifiers I have used have had weird glitches (power output seriously cut when low-pass filter is set on an M300, kind of made me think they accidently put a high-pass filter in it. Using some options on an M500 put it into protection (gains all the way down, no boost). A different M300 also had that problem.) All of those amps were either replaced or fixed under warranty, though ...
The speakers haven't impressed me all that much (Except the Type-X speakers. The Type-Rs are decent for the price, the Type-S line is mediocre.). The Type-R and Type-S subs are great, although overpriced at most places around here ...

The new F#1's sure look like they're Scanspeaks.

The 6062s I believe are the Dyn 170GT or something like that and the 6022 is the D28AF. The word on the street is that the F#1s are indeed Scanspeaks but with a massively inflated price tag.

I have pletty of old school Alpine gear. Its at least 8-10 years old. The latest additions were a pair of 6012CX subs and a pair of the 6022 tweets that SUX was discussing. They really did make some fantastic gear. Today's product is still up there interms of quality but I really don't like their asthetics (esp. on the head units).
