[QUOTE="XHiFiX, post: 3098706, member: 576802"] Switching from my Rainbow SLC's (non-kick version) to the Phass comps wasn't like a night and day difference. IMO, they actually share similar sound characterstics. Both sound natural, lifelike, crisp and detailed. The Rainbow's top-end had more presence whereas the Phass HR's were slightly more laid back. The Phass midbass felt and sounded stronger and "tighter", but it could be attributed to its suspension which is still new and hasn't loosened up yet. Sound-wise, the difference between the two sets was only slight, but I would say the Phass HR's still have more potential. My SLC's were getting 130w to make them perform optimally. The HR's, even though they sounded great, were being underpowered because of their 8Ohm load on the same amp (Eclipse PA4212). The HR's are fine, fine speakers, [B]but[/B] if you're paying the retail price of $589, I can't recommend them over the Rainbows. I was able to get my set for much, much less and that was the reason I got them. I've been a long time fan of Rainbow and now I'm also a big fan of Phass, but for your money's worth Rainbows would be my pick.
