i think you should think about the boschmann component... i think they are good for starters both SPL and SQL... detailed on the high frequencies and also focused on the mid-bass... the tweeter is very directional though so the angling has to be very accurate...

the RV6200XT was my first component set... and after two years uding them in a SQ setup, i think they are the best for their price range... and speaking of mid-range products... consider this question: Do you know how to use them? if you think you know then buy them.. if you are only starting to play with ICE... then forget about them... better buy something cheap to learn, trial and error before you move to those expensive ones... better than spoilt an expensive ones while learning and then buy a cheap one to replace it...

cheers...
