car speakers?
Agree with JL Audio subs! For mids and tweets would highly recommend Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten.

TV's... what does the typical audiophile have?

need comments on my system
Agree with Celtic66 re: Counterpoint gear. Bright sounding to my ears too. 
Anyone tried running PS Audio P-300 with no fan ?
