Okay, seeing as the Focal Beryilliums are finally here I've decided to put my Rainbow References up against them in a back-to-back comparison.

Just like the subwoofer day, we’re on a mission to determine which speaker is the 'king of the world' (a little presumptuous but that’s marketing for you). On that note, I’m thinking of holding another of our famous BBQs for this experiment so if any other people could possibly make available their cars containing other high end splits in them (DLS, Scanspeak (Nathan), Phass (Bobsical), Ti Comp Elite (John) that would be very much appreciated?

Whilst I’m doing some experimenting with the Focals and Rainbows has anyone got anything specific they want me to listen for and report on?

Let the sport commence. :D:D:D

I want... I... I want... :drool:

Rainbow for the win???

Interesting to see how DLS go against them, Im thinking DLS will soon be the new 'buzz word' in Aussie car audio.

We will see...

lol

I wish...

How are sales for the speakers? It'd be good to compare the sales figures just to see which is more popular. I wish I could afford either, recon one of them will sponsor me? :D

I think it'd be more like a 'save a starving child' sponsorchip than a promotional sponsorship lol

I vote for the focals, only because my k2's sound sweet and the active xovers are an attractive option but I think the rainbows have the styling hands down.
