Only ML, GL, E-Class, SLS and last S-Class could have B&O optional sound system.
But I agree Burmester is most Hi-End audio brand than B&O.

This is going pretty off topic, but this distinction between Burmeister and B&O is why I like B&O more than a lot of the audio industry.
They do really well at staying away from the audiophile voodoo hoodoo and pseudoscience that so many of the other companies take advantage of.
Sure they will sell you $10,000 speakers, but the cables to go with them? Just $30.
The Audis I have been in with the B&O systems have been rather unimpressive.
Nobody believed me until you posted this! Thanks!

Sorry I haven't been paying attention. I definitely agree with you.

So, they have been unimpressive - but how about the sound system..? 👍
😕 😂

Boy isn't that the truth! There is NOTHING special to power link cables at ALL, and B&O never try to market them in any way other than "here, this is what you need to connect X and Y". I too noticed that.

Lol, I thought I was going to get ripped for posting that (and by the way Steffen, funny comment!), but I attend auto auctions regularly in my line of business and the various Audis I've sat in with B&O just are nothing like the quality of the home B&O system. The electrically raising tweeters are a VERY cool little touch, especially in this day and age where we've lost so many of the special "gimmicks" from the B&O days of old, but the sound itself was certainly nothing special. This goes for the A4 to Q7 to the A8.
As a recovering Audiophile ... the boom-boom clap-clap qualities of a horseless carriage NEVER made a difference to me. H3ll, I have owned vehicles that NEVER even had the audio system turned on.

Do you mean the straight link from the polar satellites, or something more refined? 😁
