While there is nothing wrong with any of the brands mentioned, none of them really stand out, in my opinion.

I have some Oz Vector coaxes and seperates that I'm letting go at cost...a great 'sleeper' brand. $40 a pair for the coax's and $60 for the seperates. I'd put these up against anything from JL, MB Quart, or most others under $200 a pair.

Also in your price range I have Image Dynamics, and for a little more you could get Critical Mass RS6's...carbon cone, neo magnet, 12db crossover, oversized tweeter, super shallow mount.
