Alpine Type X or Focal Polyglass or Boston Acoustics FS60 or JL VR650
I'm looking to overhaul the sound system. I'm picking up a US Acoustic amp that outputs 85 RMS X 4. So, now I have sufficient power to drive components that I've always had my eyes on -> being the Focals and Alpine type X. I'm partial to the focals as they were the last speakers I've heard demo'ed and the mid bass was amazing. But, the tweeters weren't that great. The type x, I heard a couple of years ago, and they were really good from what I recall (tweets imo better than focals).
What would you peeps on the forum suggest?
EDIT: I did some research and came across Boston Acoustic FS60's and JL VR650. Anyone have any experience with any of these? If it helps, it listen to all types of music (mostly hip hop though). Looking for SQ and loudness.

Type X is Alpines top line, im almost sure you did not compair Focals top line to them. Which Focal componants were you compairing them to?

The type X's are absolutly amazing but if memory serves correct, dont' they only come with the Type X 10'' and 12 sub, and 6X9's ? <--those are the three type x products I've used, and I have nothing but good things to say about them!
