From my understanding having investigated buying and having a Bose amp modded plus what both Steve and Miro(Steve's counterpart in this neck of the woods) have told me, you would open up the Bose and bypass the amp section to get a clean pre out signal. It does require someone who understands amplifier circuitboards though. Whether it makes sense vs. what I did with the LC6 and the line level output of the command itself, is something I can't really say as I've only heard the results of my setup.

The H\K is better without a doubt, bose is simply crap. That is why the E-Class, new M-Class and R-Class and the upcoming S-Class is using H\K. Audi is also no longer offering Bose in the Audi A8 so it must say that car companies are slowly stepping away from Bose.

I reckon BOSE should stand for Bloody Ordinary Sound Equipment!Too right the manufacturers are stepping away from them.

Thank god D/C is using Boston Acoustics in Chryslers now. They wouldn't go astray in Benz's either, judging by the sound quality in my new Jeep and the feedback from one of the reviewers for Stereophile's Ultimate AV. I've been putting together high end aftermarket systems in my own cars for 15 years and the BA is most legit factory one I've heard to date. The CLS55's HK is pretty damn good too. I haven't spent enough time in one to evaluate it fully yet though, but look forward to doing so shortly.

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no,

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no.

Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give,
oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no military son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,

Speaking for myself and my car----> stock stereo system(HK) from my 05 e55 SUCKS PERIOD!

I recently put in a Eclipse Navi(didn't change speakers or wire) in my Toyota Tundra Limited and that sounds better than my 55!

On the other hand...my HK stock sound system sounded little better in the 04' M3.

Once you have figured out the preamp issue, you can use these. You can rarely say that a product is the absolute best in anything, this is a case where I can tell you.... these are the best by a longshot. Click on Utopia Be:
