eh...out with the old, in with the new

I wouldn't take the 'Entry level competition set' too lightly...

Back in the day , before I was plagued with compulsivititus audioholictus and I had my arc ACS...this set is all I wanted to upgrade to...waited...waited...waited...Alumapro never brought them into the U.S.....****wads

Anyhow these will be available UNDER Profi price range , although their retail is $600....Thanks to Donald Grumpiewad..

Can't explain it, but I always liked the sound of a silk dome tweeter.

Way higher. More along the lines of Profis. To the fact that some aspects of them make them better.

The reason they never came to the country via Alumapro as a distibutor was due to the fact that they were Very comparable if not better than the Profis, but substantially less money. Being that the US market knows Rainbow for the Profis, they didnt want to lose sales on them.

Rainbow > MBQ anyday IMO.

Although boxers or briefs? I cant pick speakers for someone elses ears any better than pickin your draws. Its all way to subjective to each individual.

W7 IMHO..overpriced SPL sub.

If I were to do a GD, then it would be a Very nice price. Otherwise looking in the low $400 range off the top of my head.

Not for a $600+ dollar set that is very sought after, has Exceptional reviews and isnt even in the US.
