Best car audio, Burmester? highly disapointed

Don't know about bespoke systems but Harmon Kardon is my favorite from the factory - the one in my Mercedes big SUV is the best car audio I have had (including a bespoke Clarion setup). Mark Levinson factory installs in Lexus would be a close second. A Porsche is pretty noisy in the cabin so I am not really sure of the benefit. |
I share your pain gago, I bought a '16 TTS with B&O sound, and it is the most disappointing sound system I have ever heard. My previous '11TTS had Bose which I found to be quite satisfactory. ' What a waste of money and the name'. You are spot on there. It seems way too many 'high end' manufacturers put their name on poorly designed systems. Though the fault should be on the auto manufacturer who signs off on system. |
Yep, I had an Audi A4 with the Bose system. Took the A4 with B&O as a loaner. Distinct B&O sound. while there was a more extended treble, it was also exaggerated in the lower treble and there was no adjustment possible (despite so many controls!) that would fix it. The Bose system was, while more narrow, better balanced and less objectionable. 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. |
