Hi Guys

Needed your expert opinions on the following set of components, have a budget of around 13K, so have shortlisted the following sets

Focal Polyglass 165 VB- 13k

Image Dynamics CTX 65cs 13K

Rainbow SLC 265 KICK- 12K

Have a Hertz DSK 300 sub to compliment them, will most probaly run them off the head unit an alpine IDA X303 for a couple of months till i get some moolaa to go in for a good amp.

Will your dealer let you audition them? if only for a few minutes?

Nope this Goa, not many people go for this kinda audio, hell even the word components is forgien to some dealers, only the focal i am getting locally, checked with Mr. Kamal from PTC said he has a trustworthy dealer in goa, but for the ID's & rainbows ill have to get it directly from BBW.

I am riding on the reviews from here and other sites, so thought i will ask the experts..

I have ID CTX and I am in love with them. But I have'nt heard the others mentioned, so cannot comment on which is better.

Having auditioned all the three and 2 of them in the same car i would pick the Rainbow SLC 265 KICK.

Rainbow SLC Kick is more open and natural sounding than ID CTX. ID CTX's little sweet sounding, good for mid and low.
