I tried the B&O in the A8 - it's not worth the $. If anything it kinda sounded like sh*t - i used different sources like Sat. radio & iPod - same sh*T. My Kicker L setup in my CX-7 kicks these systems' A**

This is great!
Good sound systems have been the most important key in luxuriousness since the time they were still in home studios.

I can't imagine my LX w/o the Mark Levinson had come standard...and my Bimmer doesn't have the more expensive Bose sound system, which is very nasty, literally.

No person with a long-time interest in high-end home audio has ever regarded B&O as having good sound quality. Stellar design, yes, but B&O is continually derided for sound quality. There are dozens or hundreds of better-sounding brands out there.

I can finally buy an Aston Martin now that it has a decent sound system. All these years I've been waiting for this moment. Honestly, who really cares what sound system it has? I think the best sound track is the surround sound provided by that big v12.
