Can anyone provide me with some feedback for the standard audio system in the new E Class Coupe (E300) 2019 model, and is it worth upgrading to the Burmester system?

Thanks

I've not tried the coupe, but both in the sedan and in the wagon the standard Audio 20 systems sucks in my opinion.
I think the Burmester in my wagon also lacks a lot on sound quality but it's way better than the Audio 20.

I have the 2017 E300 with Burmester and absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend it any day. I listen to a lot of Reggae and the bass is more than adequate in my humble opinion. I have received so many compliments on how great the system sounds.

Burmester is not amazing but still well worth it because the standard system is so horrible

Thanks all for your input! Much appreciated.

Are there any direct replacements for the Audio 20 system to improve sound without adding an amp or sub.

Thanks

a sub is a big improvement on both systems, but it is slot cheaper probably to just get the small burmester and add a sub as the highs and mids are excellent on the burmester. Just the lows are lacking. I am planning on installing a sub in the boot myself and I have the small burmester.

I agree a sub would make the most difference. What do you mean by adding a small burmester? Sorry I'm a bit new to all this. Is it replacing the standard door speakers with Burmester ones ?
Thanks

Would I be able to directly replace the Audio20 Tweeters from the front doors with something like this?

No I mean option the cheaper burmester system (there is also the very expensive 3D version) then add a subwoofer to that. Adding speakers to the standard system will probably become more expensive than the cost of the burmester as there is alot of wiring required, and probably some coding. If you do this yourself and have experience its doable, but if you pay a shop it will get pricey.

I have the Harmon kardon in my 18 GLE63 and I think it’s a better system than the burmester

Very helpful as Harman Kardon is not an alternative in E-class..

No ****. I was just stating a fact... as in, they shouldn’t have strayed from the Harmon

I agree. I really wanted to love the Burmester in my new E43, but the sound signature reminds me a lot of Bose's--airy, but lacking midrange and bass punch, and with a very synthetic surround function. The HK logic7 in my old BMW 3 series is much more vivid.
