Couple of days experience with Dynaudio and it's awesome!

Quality wise, there's not a chance it can be compared with the standard setup. You can tell the difference between the rates mp3 etc have been sampled at quite clearly. Have found my self changing album because the quality wasn't as good on some.

The volume is insane, I've only cranked it up about three quarters messing around and no way would I be able to cope with it that loud. No sign of distortion whatsoever, interestingly even with the bass thumbing away no panel vibration either!

One slight negative, if you have it quite quiet, it seems very top heavy with the levels set flat. Must be something to do with how the crossover is set up for the sub.

I had been prepared to be slightly disappointed with it after reading some of the comments about it on here. All I can say regarding any comments thinking the difference in quality is only slight compared to the standard setup is that I couldn't disagree more. The clarity is better than the Harmon Kardon system I had in my BMW at almost twice the price.

Great feedback, I thought the same after my test drive the other day - the clarity is impressive at loud volumes but a slight tendency for the sub to pop at lower volumes.   Never tried HK  in a beemer but I guess it could be the name you're paying for?  I know DynAudio is well known but not as well as HK.

Needless to say I added it to my order  :wink:

Great feedback indeed . . . The car must just get delivered already. Can't wait  :smiley:

On the mk6 it is fantastic, I am sure that the mk7 will be better as it includes a sub woofer in the spare wheel.
