Pipedreams vs. Soundlabs
Dennis, Audiofeil generally would be correct, but in this case he is wrong. The Pipedreams are indeed not very good. The crossover is terrible and the cheap tweeters are subpar. The image size is unrealistic, the bass does not integrate well, the ... 
Pipedreams vs. Soundlabs
Sorry to say, but the Pipedreams are pretty bad. 
Upgrade order suggestion preamp vs speakers
A little more information would be helpful. What amplifier are you currently running? What do you dislike most about the sound you currently have?

Mixalis: As a former Kharma dealer, I speak from experience. The 3.2 is an excellent speaker that is very open with excellent detail and micro dynamics. It also goes fairly deep for a two way speaker. Most people add the subwoofer thinking that ma...

Mike: Just as a little correction, The Reimyo is 14k before modifications and the EMM Labs combo is just under 22k.
