The first link mentions that Rainbow's are good speakers, but they're harder to get for reasonable prices. I do agree w/ some of the posters on mp3car that Morel and Focal are good speakers, I've never heard CDT's in person. I'm probably gonna stick w/ the ol' faithfulls...MB Quart.

The middle link for the E46 listing on BSW's website no longer mentions that they use Rainbow, so maybe someone else has also figured out that BSW was marking them up.

We were not marking up any products that Rainbow was selling. We did not stock any 'Rainbow Speakers' that would be for general installs. We used Rainbow drivers that were custom tailored for our products. They even had BSW part numbers to correspond with the Rainbow products. It was not an off the shelf part that we simply marked up.

Rainbow changed impedance, efficiency levels, wiring and more for our products specifically.

At this point we have passed the quality of the Rainbow drivers and designed, engineered and are now manufacturing our own BSW drivers. They are 100% our speakers. I just wanted to clear up that information.
