I had my car stereo stolen so my insurance company will be replacing the
head unit, amp, and door and dash speakers.

When I got  the system I didn't do comparative listening because the
complete set of Blaaupunkt components were a gift. The head was the San
Francisco, which had great features so I think I'll get the latest version.
For the amp  I had a Blaupunkt PA4100 (4 x 100 watts), which I think was not
the best amp but as it was a gift it was kept.  One channel was used to
power left side dash and door speakers wired in parallel , another was used
the same for the right channel, so I need 2 ohm stable.   The other 2
channels powered 6x9s as woofer in the rear. No, this is not a system with
slam, but I need the space a box would take, so I accept the deficiency in
loud deep bass.  Besides, I never listen to pounding bass material like rap,
or play really loud stuff like heavy metal, so a system capable of extremes
is not required.. But good bass is appreciated.     I listen to acoustic
instrumental and vocal, my tastes range  from contemporary female vocals to
baroque to classical to Ella to opera, so mainly  I'm looking for good
dynamic high fidelity sound.

The speakers were Blaupunkt Overdrive 3-ways, and they seemed fine, so I may
just go with the current 2-ways.  But if soemone knows of really great
sounding 5 1/4 and 6 1/2 coaxes  I would like to hear about them.
