Default Want your opinion on speakers

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for your opinion on speakers.
I'm going to be installing a Pioneer DEH-7800MP receiver with XM soon. I'm leaning towards Boston Accoustics SX65 6-3/4" for the back, and B/A SX95 6X9" for the front.
I have the 4-speaker system. I won't be adding any amps or subs.
Both sets of speakers are 2-way with their own crossovers built in.
I originally was intent on using Pioneer speakers but Iread some reviews stating that they really suckedfor sound($79 pr 6 3/4")
I have read here and various other places that B/A makes a decent speaker-so now I would like to know what you think.
This is not meant to be a killer sound system with huge bass and all that. Just something decent with decent sound reproduction---anythings' got to be better than factory!!

pretty much any aftermarket speakers you decide to get
will be an improvement over the stockers

beyond that its all a matter of personal preference
like whats your favorite color or flavor
I would listen to some diferent models and buy what
sounds good to you

Boston is much better than Pioneer.

Thanks Guys,

So far the BA's look like the way to go. What do you think about the speaker arrangement for the front. Would it be better to go with a balanced system of 4 speakers all the same size---bass may suffer a little, or go with 6x9's up front as I suggested in the beginning

Shouldn't worry about bass too much if your powering them off the HU. And honestly, Pioneer might be better given the lack of an amp. Which set is more efficienct?
