It can be better -- talk to Julio at Miami Chassis. He has done a few nice systems in the W221.

Reus system, they fly all over, I had the install done and it looks stealth and clear.

Yes, the current S550s have Harmon Kardon system instead of that low quality Bose system they had on the previous S-Class Models

come on... the factory system is blah... there is no impact at all, it is just a blah blah blah blah sound... and the reus system, i only heard one system and it was just a sub package, I was not impressed. the system needs to be gutted from the amp back...

sorry you dont like it, in my car it sounds amazing, seriously, it is close to the best sound i have ever heard.and it should be for 105k

no, i can honestly say i don't like it. It is a lifeless sound, don't worry though, that is how I think about all factory systems, however the Porsche Caymen with the add on bose woofer up front did catch my attention. The music sounds too processed and not natural. I feel it is like that because of space considerations and power considerations. now the 550 does sound better (dramatically) with a real woofer added to it, but it still has it short falls.

Also I feel that it isn't better or worse than any of the other newer vehicles out there, from caddy/bose to the mark levinsion system. i did see a vehicle show casing a B&O system, with motorized tweeters, but never heard it, though some were saying it is the new pinnacle of factory audio


but this is my opinion, I love music, I know what most instruments sound like live or in person, along with music being recorded. Which is why i have my opinion. can it be easy to change the system to make more of an impact, yes, but costly.
