Bose sound in the A8's
In general the sound in the A8's is what I would call "aims to impress" but in truth it's rather poor. In many things in life more is not always better, and one thing for sure there is far too much bass in these systems, it even plays bass notes that are not there, the speakers are running in self resonance. At the other end of the spectrum the treble is too strong so it gives a very false sound , just listen to the news - did you ever hear someone's voice sound like that?
There are many reasons why I have owned A8's but the sound system is not one of them. Audi have partnered with the high brand profile of Bose, it does not mean it is the best in car audio or home audio for that matter.
Another point to make is correctly balanced sound- Bass Vs treble they do interact in an opposite way you would think. This is because bass sounds are rich with harmonics, these harmonics are in the high frequency region. if this were not true the top string on a bass guitar would just be a 67Hz buzz with no tone.
My final point is a question you should think about - consider a male singer and a typical female singer which voice has the most treble content?...........
