never heard of hybrid audio but from the look of them, they look like they are pretty nice. Im not big into the competition stuff. The closest I have every worked with in competition type audio is the Planet Audio amps and mixed in with random subs. The way i see it, if you pay for it then you will most likely get a good product. JLs have always been a great company but they did have a few down years from what I'v seen, but from what I hear now they are back on track and running hard. All lines will have their cheap lines and their higher end lines. As long as you look at what the speakers are made of and not just what they look like then you will do good in buying a good audio system. The biggest things you need to make sure are you are matching the right amps to the right subs or speakers. If you just look at the max wattage and match the amp to the speaker that way then you will end up ruining stuff. Most people that talk trash about any company have most likely set up their system wrong and obviously had nothing to do with the components. If your setting up your system make sure you read into the specs and then some on the install. If you paying a company like Best Buy then be weary about it but most of the time they will treat you good but they as well as other shops should stand behind their work if they mess up.
