Bang & Olufsen Replacements
Does anyone know where I would be able to find B&O replacement speakers for my factory Harmon Kardon in my 2015 ML400? My biggest regret with the vehicle is not getting the B&O.

It had excellent highs. But not as wide a range (bass) as the HK. It was little more refined stereo. Just not blow your socks off

I know This is very subjective, but having tried both, I can say that for my taste I choose the HK any day. As jtorrebl said, the lower frequencies are very deficient and the overall quality it is far from justify another Us$ 6700.
But again, it is just my opinion.

+1 with the HK. Don't waste money on th B&O speakers. You will appreciate the HK when you crank it up a little bit and here all the goodies coming out from the speakers.

I own a 2015 GLS w Harmon Kardon, it's far inferior to the B&O! To the gentleman asking to upgrade, both systems are entirely different - number of speakers, wattage & the B&O amp sits where you would normally have a spare, that's right, B&O = no spare. I really have mixed feelings about these forums, considering many replies said go with the HK!!! Hello, I drive this SUV daily, one of the rear speakers has blown - only noticable when listening to the symphony - either way it's absurd considering what I paid, love everything else though. And I don't recommend changing or even updating your stereo. Both the HK and B&O were made for this vehicle - and both have entirely different configurations -
just wait until your next car purchase
