while i havent seen any physical evidence, ive seen zero drop in their quality over the years. id have to see some damn good proof for me to believe harman took over their production. and even if they did, what else is better for cheaper? nothing. period.

All I can say is that for silk dome tweeters on infinity products they sure are overly bright.

Trust me on this one. I produce hip hop and idm type music. i've got a real pricey set of studio monitors at home and a really picky ear. I've heard Kappa 6x9's and the quality ( especially flat + total frequency response ) is amazing.. they can also handle quite a bit of wattage compared to your average car speaker. They're the best i've heard so far but i'm sure there are others i have overlooked ( i do like high end pioneers as a budget choice.. )

Sadly, no more..

I hate to break it you you fanboys, but MB-Q, Alpine, CDT, Boston Acoustic... All have more potential, and to be honest, Alpine has the best bang for your buck in this category. Type 'R compoents go for 120 $ ffs.

I'll go a step further...

Infinty makes the best home theater speakers I have heard also. If I didn't get a great deal on my Bose, I would have gone Infinity in a heart beat. Both home and car speakers, Infinty has the best, most crisp, clear highs than any other I have heard.
