I am interested in the thread, there is a lot of worthwhile information but your comment is about as interesting useful mine.

To say there is no difference is retarded and to justify it the way was mildly amusing.

If I didn't have to wait another 5 years for my car I may not be so sarcastic  :laugh:

"Retarded" what sort of statement is that!! If youve got nothing constructive to say and can only resort to offensive comments then why bother being on the forum. It was a statement of fact by someone who works in the music industry for a living that they couldnt tell any major difference for the additional £500 odd quid. You seem to be one of these know all people who knows everything and must be right. If you cant say anything nice then dont bother!!

When I was seriously looking to go down the new A3 Sportback route (the new 8V MQB type) a couple of months ago, the boys over at Audi-Sport.net were all singing the praises of the £750 B&O system in the Audi. Needless to say, I couldn't find a demonstrator with the B&O installed, but did find a couple with the entry level optional "Audi Sound System" installed.

Now Audi offer 2 upgrades - the Audi Sound System at £255 which gave you 10 speakers including a sub in the boot along with a 6 channel amp with 180 watt output.

The B&O System gave 14 speakers including the sub, as well as a 15 channel Amp with 705 watts output and full 5.1 surround compatibility.

Well, like I said never managed to hear the B&O system, but had a good play with the £250 Audi Sound system and at first, it didn't sound much better than standard. However once I'd "tweaked" the settings, raised the sub level etc, it completely blew the standard system away (so god only knows what the B&O system must sound like).

So I'm hoping that the Dynaudio system with a 10 channel Amp and 400 watts (albeit without the Audi's 10th Centre dash speaker), "should" (I hope) sound somewhere in between the pair of them.

Like I said, I hope so........... :grin:

I've had a BMW professional system and Bose on an audi - they both sounded amazing and significantly better than the standard systems but you do need to take the time to set them up for your taste just as you would any stereo. Not many systems, car or otherwise, will be right straight out of the box and I didn't realise it until recently that they do need to be 'run in'. 

I've been told that the dynaudio is a big step forward on the GTI with the additional of the sub woofer and is just as good if not better. I can't wait!!!!

Remember Dynaudio is a proper high end speaker manufacturer, who make genuine warm, neutral and clean sounding speakers. They are light years ahead of Bose but you have to listen to them for an extended period to appreciate the quality. It's not just pumped up bass to make it sound like an 'upgrade'. Expect clear, natural vocals and a high level of detail. This is how it was in the mk6 but that lacked a bit of Bass. The sub in the mk7 should address this. I have some retail Dynaudio speakers that sell at around £6-700 for 2 way components, and they don't appear much different to the stuff you get with VW. This makes it a bit if a bargain when you consider you get front and rear speaker + an amp and sub. A no-brainier really if you care at all about music.

I'm not too bothered about high end audio in the car - too many background noises in a car to justify the spend for me, seeing as the standard unit is very good for a standard unit. I'll leave the best stuff at home.

This is one option that I swayed over for a quite a while and ended up just leaving it. I'm hoping i'm not going to regret it but it's a small comfort hearing that the standard system is still pretty good  :smiley:
