    Cool! Ill grab me a copy tomorrow.

    I dont know why I just dont subscribe. Ive bought every issue for the last 4 years off the news stand. But for some reason, in my little brain $15 a year seems more expensive than $3 a month.

    Man i tell you this seas lotus component set looks to be a awesome set of components. A lot of people are raving about these speakers. A lot of folks over on the car audio sound & performance forum highly recommend these over just about everything including DLS,FOCAL,MBQUART,MOREL,RAINBOW and so forth. They retail for about 745.00 also.

    You really just have to pay attention to the fine print and also their rating. Mine is still 100%!!

    Another interesting thing about this issue, they tested one of the almighty Dynaudio component set too and basically the SR's smoked it pretty bad. Final rating for the Dyn's was a 74 with 14 for SQ.

    Once again, Polk speakers overachieving.

    Was glad to see Crossfire kicking **** and they tore up that Interfire.

    They dont have any frills or nifty features but they make tons of clean power, handily exceed their ratings, are very effecient and built extremely solid and can handle a lot of abuse. I think theyre among the best amps on the market.
