It is impossible to have 12 speakers with B & O system, it has only Audi R8

Do u have a q5?
Bang or not ?

 

[spijun]

Yes, I have a Q5 with B&O system

 

[Ramy.F.Chrabieh]

Okay but people say and I found out that the sound of the audi sound system is louder and u know more vivid.
What's the "WOW" in the bang and olufsen sound system ?

 

[Ramy.F.Chrabieh]

???,

 

[Ramy.F.Chrabieh]

So....

Audi's B&O installations are excellent - solid bass, distortion free irrespective of volume, crisp midrange and - just very life like and easy on the ears. If you have a tech-pack and watch DVD media in the car then you might also enjoy full 7.1 surround sound with the B&O too. If high quality music/video/radio playback really isn't your thing/not something you care too much about then the standard Audi system is plenty good enough - good but not exceptional.

 

[Ramy.F.Chrabieh]

Yeah you are right.
But the audi sound system (ASS) is louder
And I like dubstep and electro songs I don't think bang and olufsen like that u know they are more focused on Opera.

Having spent a lot of money on ICE over the years (in my my younger years!), I know a wee bit about car audio. I have the B&O in my A4 avant and it is simply fantastic, what a sound! It is more than loud enough in my opinion, any louder and your ears would start to bleed! 505 watts of quality power and absolutely no distortion at any level. Everyone should have it in their Audi! It's certainly part of the spec on the Q5 I've ordered.

The B&O sound quality is subtle - the nuances of the sound source are reproduced perfectly. Young Ramy' likes his sounds a bit higher up the brutal scale I suspect given the genre of music mentioned....
