Hi all
After a long wait since last September, my S finally arrived last week (Ammonite, Privacy glass, 22 black alloys and Black pack for those interested).
Love the car and the drive, but something that has really disappointed me is the sound quality of the Meridian 825w upgrade. Having come from an Audi A5 Cab with the B&O upgrade, I was expecting something at least as good. Wife and I have owned 4 Audi models with the B&O and they have all sounded fantastic. Admittedly a different system, but for the money the Meridian cost… it's not doing it for me!
Where the B&O system always had me cracking up the volume, the Meridian sounds flat and uninvolving, with the `surround sound' feeling like it's all coming from the front centre of the car. I've tried all the settings (very limited) and checked for sound coming from all speakers (the rear door speakers in particular sound pretty cheap!) but I can't seem to get that big surround sound that I enjoyed with the B&O.
Has anyone got the same and feels a little let down?
