GregWormald Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I could sort of see it in a chauffeur-driven vehicle where I could lie back, close my eyes, and pass away the trip in whatever way I wanted; but in a "sports coupe"—where driving is part of the entertainment? Not today, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Back in the day for my first two cars ….the car audio cost more than the cars they were in so as can imagine …. I can see no problem at all if the car audio these days costs less than the car it’s in how much is the Bentley worth Am sure it’s one awesome system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out a few years later it was the Guinea Pig for Dirac ART. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingbat Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Golly, the audio costs more than my car. Funnily enough, my HiFi components are Naim. Speakers are not Focal though. Bet my system sounds better out of the car than this one in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMDave Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Ironically, I feel the system in my car sounds considerably better than my house system. Despite the fact that the house system costs 5 times more. ( $2k vs $12k+) Probably a lot also comes down to "room influences". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% positive my home system is way better than my car system (just whatever default came with the car), yet I do find when I'm driving, the sound is very enjoyable. I have no other explanation for this than the "car effect". Higher quality and more expensive systems have the drawback that it's easier for something to hold back the sound quality, or if you're not in the mood for it, harder to appreciate the quality. There's something to be said for more modest, yet enjoyable systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound system was more! Edited September 23 by ICUToo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steever Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 (edited) My car isn’t the quietest car on the road but I have a 3 way active audio system which also lets me enjoy music out and about. It’s not wasted in a car environment. Edited September 24 by Steever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
