Sound system upgrades

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. May you food coma be blissful.

I'm wondering if anyone has made upgrades, improvements to your Bermester system. I'm thinking the speakers would be a good place to start. I'd love to hear opinions especially fro those who have made changes.

Thanks in advance

I've been a high-performance home audio system nut my whole life. My current home system is worth about $250K and I'm always thinking about how to make improvements here and there. I finally quit trying to upgrade car manufacturer's systems after a few decades of doing my own car audio. That's because the systems, such as Mercedes Burmester, are just good enough to make any appreciable improvements a huge & expensive deal.

Just play around with the controls available. I have the treble turned WAY down, and the bass up +1 or +2. Don't use satellite radio or over-the-air FM when you're doing adjustments because their signal is very highly compressed, unless it's an NPR station broadcasting something classical.

I will admit, the Bermester system is one of the best factory systems I have heard. Thanks for your input
