In that case I would wonder if there is something wrong with the B&O on that particular car, should be able to tell the difference between them and the B&O should definately have a bit more clarity and crispness and sound better than the bose for thousands of pounds difference in cost!

That depends on the ears also

For me, it isn't a show stopper either way. On the D3 the Bose was fine for me, pop up tweeters look nice tho

On the D4 they upped their game on the "standard" system also, which wasn't bad for "free"

I agree - same here actually, the Bose in my A7 was pretty good and I've got D3's I'm running with (heaven forbid) the standard 12 or 14 speaker system whatever it was and the sound is fine for those purposes!
