High End Equipment?

I have been out of the car audio world for about seven years. I remember that I bought some top of the line Eclipse speakers when I was younger and I has been amazed at the clearness. MB Quart and Boston Acoustics was the pimpness then. But, who are the front runners now?

there's nothing like the old school equipment

they aren't making stuff in china and korea to compete with prices and internet

You just opened a can of worms. Everybody will give a diff answer here.

I favor my Alpine speakers, but that's just me. The big players are all still there from seven years ago.

mb quart, focal, some of the higher class type x alpine stuff sounds really good and eclipse is still up there

Eclipse has slid a little on the quality side, MB quart and Boston Acoustics leaned toward the cheap, mass production side also.
Top dogs these days are Diamond, Focal, Morel, JL's high end stuff is pretty good, and Zapco has a part set out now. I have not been really impressed with Pioneer or Kicker's high end stuff.
