Somebody on this forum had a set of Rainbow phase plug components with the CAL26 Titan tweets for sale for $500 OBO. For your budget, I'd buy those instead of a set of Germaniums. The Germs are nice, but that phase plug set sounds fantastic.

Not a big fan of rainbow. My vote goes to the new Boston Z's. Havent heard them yet though.

Rainbow makes great stuff. Boston makes good stuff too.

focal...eh good but iliek the other two better.

Upper level boston though I like a lot. I've only heard the SLC's for rainbow so I'd have to say boston.

Wow, recommending a comp set over Rainbow even though you havent heard them yet. I would really be intrested to hear what turned you off of Rainbow so bad.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Personally I would go with the Rainbow, I have sets in 2 cars, and love them.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I've only heard the Focal K2P's and Boston Z's and both were in a sound board. I liked the Focal's better as the Boston's seemed rather bright, of course it could have been how they were EQ'd. The Focals played VERY loud and stayed clean/accurate at loud volumes....

i have experience with the Boston Pros, I know they aren't even on your radar, but they are very loud and VERY detailed. I can't imagine what the Zs are like.
