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.

I'm also interested in a good head unit (for both an old 911 and a VW Vanagon).  Sony has a unit for $1,500 that looks promising...

OTOH, I'd much rather pay $500

I am also a Focal fan.

I just got a new Porsche Cayman S with the Burmeister system.   The Bose is just as good.  The Burmeister has better bass, but its value is swamped when you do over 15 mph.  I suspect the biggest flaw is the iinput signal, but it is what it is.
