Help Please : To Burmester or not to Burmester ?

Hello, coming from an Audi S5 Coupe into my first Merc CLE 53.

In Canada the Burmester 3D Surround upgrade is $1,100.

Any thoughts please ?

I would say its worth it. Ive had it on my last car and ordered it for the new one as well. It does offer great sound.

I agree that it’s worth the expense. It is standard in the USA. I got to try it during a CLE 53 test drive.

It’s standard here in US I suppose since it didn’t appear as an option. However, I will say it sounds great. I use both Apple Lossless and Tidal HiFi plus. The max bitrate audio sounds great and clear. No distortion. I recommend watching this video from DM Sound. He reviews factory car audio systems and provides a grade from A to F tier similar to school grades. He also has a special tier S-tier which is only given to the best audio systems he has heard. Spoiler alert - this car got S-tier with this system.
