Harman Kardon vs Dynaudio
« on: 26 January 2026, 18:39 »
Hi all

have dynaudio in my 7.5 and HK in the 8.5. 

1. Does any particular source sound better in the HK? (e.g. bluetooth vs usb stick)

2. Even though HK comes with higher output than DynAudio, the latter kind of sounds louder, bass in particular is more responsive.  Am i doing something wrong?  Played with settings and tried different combinations but no luck.

thanks

Sorry, can’t answer your questions but it might be worth considering forum member @GE90’s centre speaker upgrade. Its plug and play and feedback from members on this forum and other Golf forums (vwroc.com and golfmk8.com) who’ve made this upgrade has been very positive. Link to relevant discussion topic below;
