Wow, had not visited the site for some time. Interesting reading all the responses. Anyway, I have had a chance to try the Meridian audio in my new Range Rover Sport. This one does not have the dynamics the Burmester had. However, the midrange and top end are much nicer. I like it more. Of course, now I kind of settled with the idea that car audio can never be in the same league as home audio.
I also found out that Burmester amps and speakers are still built by the same Italian company as the lower end amps and speakers from Porsche. I think the design is Burmester, that is it. I understand though, the car system cost 6K, while one preamp from Burmester for your home audio can cost north of 20K.
