This might help: at the moment I have a courtesy car, mk 7 Golf, which obviously has the standard stereo. Have to say its pretty good, certainly better than the missus' standard system on her Alfa. But... and it's a massive but for me, I've come from a TT which had a BOSE, and the standard VW is severely lacking in base and higher volume quality. I've had Dynaudio before so I know how good it is, and IMO it's a no brainer if you enjoy music with base and listening to it loud. I can tell the difference instantly. That's not to say the standard system is rubbish - it's not, it's good - but if it was me I'd upgrade. Which is what I've done!
