HK is great,could be better
Its very clear,great sounding,and pretty loud.BUT its not loud enough and as with 99% of all stock systems it could use alot more bass.I listen to mostly trance/house/club and hard rock/metal and on very deep bass if the volume is up you will hear the woofers "flap" which is annoying.Another very annoying thing is (this was brought up before) there is no volume display.You just keep turning the knob until the sound doesnt get any louder or it starts to distort.Overall I like it,but I expected more.I guess I'm just used to spending thousands of dollars on systems that made the ground shake and made parents hold onto their children when I was a few years younger....the good old days..........

A lot of people associate loudness with when it distorts. So, to them loud is when it is painful to listen to and listen fatigue sets in.. So, the HK doesn't distort at pretty loud volumes and is pretty loud in my opinion.

Granted for most days the volume (low-mid) is sufficient, but it really irks me that when I want to crank a song to beyond mid levels the rer sub cracks/flaps with ever kickdurm, and ocassionally, on special ocasions the front center wil distort beyond sound recognition (quite embarassing) while all the while ... despite all wishful thinking...you turn the volume knob into infinity without any noticable increase in sound volume.
It's sad to say but the stock sound system in my $20k Nissan Xterra sounded much better.
My first MB and happy to at least say... that is just about the only thing I am not happy about.
just my opinion

Although, I will say that when I listen to classical, or other types of CD's, I do hear a good amount of extra "stuff" going on in the background that I had never heard before. In that regard, the HK is very good.
Either way, I wouldn't want the old Blose system, nor the new HK. The Pioneer in my Lexus before this was superior (although not as accurate with classical style music). But I could crank that without distortion, and keep the bass high without the farting.

I have Bose in my SL55. It's terrible: huge mid-bass hump, no low bass, no midrange clarity, droopy high end, but spitty at the same time, poor imaging, distorted at any level.
I have HK in my E500. Decent, but not great sound. No real bass. OK midrange. Need to keep Logic 7 turned down to keep sound natural. I had a HK system on a 745 I had before either car. It was much better than the system on the E. It had an equalizer, which helped fix up frequency resopnse errors.
