best 4x6's in the world

I'm looking to replace all 4 speakers in the Z and was just wondering what are you guys' opinions about the best speakers in the world, price being no object. I'm having a hard time finding a good set that will in the front with what little space we have up there.

I just put a set of Boston Acoustics up front without any MODIFICATION. Perfect fit and they sound great.

A set of components will run you about $7000.

I am serious about price being no object, but not to the point of needing a second mortgage to buy a set of speakers. The reason I'm asking is because I got a great deal on a four channel PPI amp (PC4100) and I'd like to power all four speakers with it. I just can't find a set of 4x6's that can take 100 watts. Thanks for the answers !

My 3 year old Infinity Kappa 6x9's are rated at 110 watts RMS each, IIRC...and they sound awesome, esp. with a good amp! I think they were @150 or so for the pair, but that was a few years ago...

Besides, it's not usually power that kills a speaker... it's noise that does most of them in. On a 4X6 you should really run a low-pass filter (cheap way) or roll off below 150 Hz with an electronic crossover before amplifing. That's a little hard to do though if you have but one 4 channel amp.
