On a scale of 1-10 <How much better is the soiund in a 2006 530> Or for that matter I am inferring any 5 Series?

Also Instructions for Your-Do-It-Yourselfer

or a Ball Park Cost for our local Tweeter Sound Shop here on the east coast would help?

Thanks Keep it rolling!

I would say its an easy 8 of an upgrade.

Ive heard BSW speakers before and I really liked the focus of the midrange.

You can make a DIY but I would have supervision of a pro too

You asked for my opinion and I consider myself somewhat of an audiophile. Dont ask questions then make fun of the answers when you get them.

I think the BSW speakers are very good and are made very well. I think they are costly hence why a group buy would make them even better.

Stop using big bold lettering too.

Okay! So The sound quality.... Is it Noticeable say 50% better? That would be a lot in my book.

Can we agree on that?

Thanks for your input and great support for other Sound Lovers. I am a Harmon Kardon kind of Square Wave guy!

what is a 30% difference when the the OPINION is COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE?

What units do we measure the opinion of sound in?

there is no logic in applying numbers to a subjective measurement. They are a great improvement. I am hearing all sorts of details in voices and instruments I was not hearing before. Now I also realize how crappy the Sirius feed really is, it pales in comparison to high bit rate MP3s and uncompressed CDs. the bsw kit really opens the sound system up.

Now Halston, when are you going to get a kit for the E65s? are the speakers any different than the E60?
