I replaced my factory L7 speakers with BSW Stage 1 speakers. Nice upgrade. Better clarity and channel seperation. Less harsh.
Is it really true? Does BSW can make speakers better than all those top audio companies do?, again since audio is always subjective..
Can we get some more opinions please?

first of all none of those companies are TOP audio companies by any means.
B&W has some great high end stuff but the rest simply do not. Their designs are aesthetic and limit their sound neutrality
but yes with basic upgrades in coils, mags, woofer material and tweeter material, BSW was able to out due the stock harmon system in our cars

In reality all of these companies have something that distinguishes them, for example BOSE might not be the one that sounds best. Nevertheless for the size of their speakers, no other company has speakers the same size that sounds as close as good and crisp as the Jewel Cube speakers. B&W and B&O make amazing speakers (best ones I've heard) but they are also big.

BOSE also makes for NISSAN and INFINITY ( I should know I work for BOSE)

Actually thats not true either, Orb Audio makes small double stacked orbs that sound much better than the Bose Jewel cube speakers do.
Bose use to be great but ever taken a cube apart? I have. Its plastic with manila paper cones and dual crossed wires for the highs and lows.
Ive owned B&W before, they were ok but very expensive for what they were. Vandersteen is by far the knockout speaker that beats the rest.
Nissan and Infinity? Thats the same company dude.
The main thing that distinguishes most audio companies is the use and formation of the wood. Bose doesnt use MDF as far as Ive seen. Its a battle for the aesthetic over the sound.
In any case, BSW makes some very good replacement speakers for our car

I know, I never said BOSE made the best speakers, their materials aren't the best as we like to say; however they manage to deliver and outstanding performance from any speaker. I'm also aware Infinity and Nissan are the same.
But yeah, I did go to the BSW
website, and I have to admit I loved what I saw, and for the price. No one can beat it. Complete set up for $600 
, I'm getting mine ASAP!
