I'd say that the D4 Bose is pretty much on par with the D3 B&O, with similar bass, so I'd guess tweaking the settings will help you enjoy your techno trance

I've not compared the BOSE to the B&O, but the BOSE in our D4 3.0tdi is fine by my standards. But if you're looking for a real thumping bass then I wouldn't say that it has it.

Indeed it doesn't have thumping bass, nor did the B&O in the D3
