The amp that Im planning on buying is the Blaupunkt THA475, 75 watts RMS. Is their any speaker brands that do this?
Most of the good component speakers are well within the 75 rms power range. The real question is how good do the speakers sound to you. Generally the more expensive the component system is, the better the mid drivers, tweeters, and crossover systems are in terms of design and performance. I have a set of Polk MMC 525 Components for my front fill and a set of Polk MMC 525 co-axials for my rear fill. For the price they sound great and are ultra clear with the power turned all the way up. Originally I looked at Focal K2's but I felt they were a little bit out of my price range. I originally had my Polk's powered off of a Kenwood KAC8402 which was a mistake because it overheated constantly and only put out 60x4 rms at 4ohms. This was temporary though as I just got my hands on a JL Audio 300/4 and now my mid and highs sound absolutely fantastic. I get a smile on my face every time I turn my system up high. I paid $300 for the MMC 525 components and $200 for the MM525 co-axials and every dollar was worth it. I can't wait to get my Alpine IVA-D105 installed this March when I'm home for spring break and finish the rest of the system with a JL Audio 1000/1 and a second JL Audio 12w6v2 this summer.
