Hey guys,

Is there a big difference in sound quality between the Harmon Kardon and the regular speaker for C300? I have the regular speakers but never heard Harmon Karon quality before, just wondering if it makes a big difference.

Btw, does anyone have the stock C300, C350, or C63 Harmon Kardon speakers for sale, I'm interested, please let PM me. Thanks

There's a noticeable difference in sound quality. Keep in mind that you need more than the speakers, you need the HK amp (AGW) as well. I'm not sure in the NGT2.5 and later systems exactly what other bits are required....

UK-C200, do you know if it's possible for me to bring back to the dealer for the Harmon Kardon speaker upgrade?

On paper, it's a "factory only" option - you might get lucky and find a dealer willing to order the parts and do it. Make sure you know *just* how much they are going to charge for the install!

I wish I had Harmon Kardon on my car. I really regret I didnt get that option, my ride sounds good without the Harmon Kardon but just wondering how much better if I did get the harmon kardon...big dissapointment...

If I had the Harmon Kardon I could have been bumping my music cruzing around town...

YES YES YES! I got a loaner C300 with the HK and MM package and have never heard such a good sounding factory stereo. I played my DVD-Audio discs in there and they sounded excellent.

The next loaner I got, did not have the HK or MM and was a BIG disappointment. There is no way I would buy a W204 without it - it really completed the W204.

....makes me feel very disspointed now, I wish I had the Harmon Kardon option. Is there anyway I can upgrade it to the Harmon Kardon? Will the dealer do that for me?

Sorry - I don't think there would be a reasonable way to do that. I know that some are retrofitting MM units in their cars, but not sure about the entire H/K system. You can try:
