I listened to some Focal in the store last week and they sound awesome. They will be my next speakers if they will fit.

What model boston? Remember, most companies have their high end and their low end. Trust me, infinity doesnt make anything that will touch Boston Pro's.

ah, well if you dont want to break the bank account, check out the Phoenix Gold RSD 6.5 components, you can have them for around 90-100 bucks if you shop around, and they have been getting excellent reviews. They are being compared to component sets that cost 2-3 times as much.

I've had Focals before, but the JL Audio ZR's that I have now blow them out of the water. You have to run them with an amp, but most people buying components are already planning to do that...
