The B&O rocks. It's not as full as the one in the Audi but the A8 has a much bigger sound stake to work with. The AMG makes up for it with exhaust sound however
I'm a bit of a sound snob though.
The only downside is the spare sits on top in the trunk.
Not a biggie for me as the RS4 was the same way.

Never heard the HK in a Mercedes but I've never been a fan of any HK that I've heard in other cars including my son's BMW.
I can tell you the B&O is very clean.
The bass is is tight and deep especially at volume. The sub in the wheel well gives it some good punch..

Great. I've always liked B&O products so I'll give it try. What's another $5k at this point. Lol

would be interesting to hear HK vs BO side by side, I have no complaints with the HK but I'm sure the BO rocks

I think it all boils down to definition. I'm sure they're both plenty loud.
Where I think the B&O really shines is with live music in surround mode.
If you stream music on Spotify with Bluetooth set at the highest settings, it really sounds great. On radio or satellite, probably not a huge difference.
Have not tried ripping to the hard drive yet.

Dammit! :-) my wife wants it in black or silver and when I say "want" she wants it for herself. I guess the new ml63 p30 is my new daily. How can I argue over about that? Lol. Renttec or Weistec ecu upgrade for ml?

She's great, I drive her two or three times a month. That's going t be even less pretty soon, I'm getting ready to South Korea for a year so the wife will have to drive her periodically.

The Austin Yellow color is very different, I wonder how it looks in person.
