Beo Sound

I have a 14 Vanquish that has Beo sound which is a standard option. That system would bubble your brain when cranked up.
I recently purchased a 15 V12 Vantage Volante with Beo sound which is a $8500 option. This system isn't close to bubling the brain. I have check all speakers and they seem to be working. I checked treble and bass levels also.
Wouldn't you expect them to perform the same?

I can relate, the first time I heard it was in a DB9 and the sound quality blew me away so I ordered it with my Vantage. Though the sound in the Vantage is no where near what it was in the DB9.

Try messing with the bass/treble/eq a bit more. I just have the mid-grade stereo on my Vantage, but with some fairly unconventional settings I was able to achieve surprisingly good sound quality (and this comes from a car audio snob!).

Unfortunately the B&O system only has adjustment for bass and treble, and at lower volume it's the mid that's really missing. It improves at higher volume, though can only blast it loud for so long. However the sound staging is wonderful, I'd just really like to be able to adjust the EQ.

you are correct, I set up bass and treble, that's all I could check.....it sounds OK but not even close to the Vanquish. For $8500 bucks I would think it would sound better.

I’m looking at a Rapide that has the B&O sound. I was hoping someone would have feedback on it.

I have a Rapide and I think the B&O sound is fantastic. I love the sound but I can't really add any "audiophile" specifics. I think the Rapide is a fantastic car and it is beyond me why it was not more successful.
