Best car audio, Burmester? highly disapointed

Just wanted see if anyone else has listened to Burmester audio in Porsche cars. I recently bought a Porsche Panamera Turbo with Burmester audio. If your read car reviews, everyone talks about how the Burmester in Porsceh is one of the best audio systems available today. Really? I am an audiphile and know what is good an bad. the system is calibrated correctly for volume bass, etc, and has power, which I think should be given. But the midrange and mid-highs suck, very raspy an dull. >8-10K Hz things are better, but common... I am highly disappointed!

The system that I built for my SUV, Harmon-Kardon head unit, Alpine amp and Focal speakers, is in a completely different league compared to the Burmester. What a waste of money and the name.

"Unfortunately like all Audi's I've been in they all suffer from so much road noise you don't really think it's worth it. "

Off topic but wow, Eric.  I'm really surprised to read that.  I've lost count of the A4s I've leased and owned over the last almost 20 years.  Excessive road noise was never my experience with any of them...even with sport suspension and low profile tires.  Hate to see the brand come in for that kind of undeserved criticism.
