You think the s-class got cheated out of the pop up tweeter, which the audi has.

A Mercedes obviously!
Anyone ever try Aston Martins w/Linn?

Been very impressed with my father's A8s that have all had the B&O system. The Bose and H/K in the W220s and W221s is very disappointing IMO. Not much of a surprise to many.

Not sure as I have't tried the Audi, but the HK in my parents' '10 S550 sounds just as good all around as the B&O in my CLS.
That's coming from someone who hates the HK system in the CLS.
