i'm thinking of upgrading front speakers, i was recommended the following in my price range: RS Audio, Eton, Rainbow and Focals.

i don't see RS Audio & Eton on the list on the first page. anyone have good experiences on these? they fall into the high quality segment?

oh okay. i'm purchasing from a pretty reputable well-known dealer with much good word-of-mouth, so i suppose i should be alright yeah.

but how does know identify genuine from fake components?

ah okay.... well, i presume fakes won't reproduce sounds which are sub-par right? since the dealer would normally test each group of speakers in the car being installed one by one with my CD of choice and as long as i like to listen to compare them, i would be able to tell the fakes right?

i suppose, that's where my dealer is different, in that he typically would fit all the different sets of sound system in my car for me test, which he did so i really appreciated that, and i was able to objectively compared one set to another.

oh yes, i saw a sticker from the authorised distributor on the box
