    Just remember... 90% of the time you get what you pay for.

    Eclipse makes some good HU's but i'm not sure about any of their other equipment.

    4 speakers, 1 sub and a 5 channel amp for $550??? Yeah, Im sure it would be on par with your Focals and Dynaudios.

    Give me a break. Its flea market stuff. Just go to Walmart and stock up on some Sony gear. Youd be better off.

    :D ouch!! but mac is right. If you're getting all this stuff for 550 then you're not getting quality.

    The other way to do this is to build your system in stages. If today you can only afford 550, spend that on a good hu and decent front components. Down the line when u have some spare $$$ you can add a good 4ch amp and next a sub and a mono. Add the rears last......if you need them. It may take you 6-8 months this way but in 6 months you would have a great system which you will enjoy for many years.
