I believe it's been addressed, but just to reiterate — When in "Surround" mode, the Bose system uses an algorithm to send certain notes to the center channel only, but also puts it's own "effects" in the mix which are horribly untrue to the recording. In "Linear" mode. it's simply getting a mixed-mono signal that suppresses the stereo separation and does more harm than good.
We have to remember at the end of the day that music is recoding in 2ch stereo, not 5.1 surround, so anything with a center channel is a fake representation of the recording. There are certain cases where we can get close-to-true imaging with a center channel, but it requires an up-mixer technology that does not exist in 99% of premium factory audio systems – Porsche Bose and Burmester included.

I am still hoping for the" center speaker disconnect" video from Nick. It must be a busy time of year for them.

A few days ago a rattle started up from the area of the drivers side tweeter. I determined it wasn't the cover so this morning I removed the it to find the screws holding the tweeter were slightly loose. I don't know if I didn't tighten them enough in the first place or they loosened. I'm guessing the former.
Anyone else have this problem?

Advanced
Frist set in Europe installed today. Installation was a pice of cake thanks to the excellent installation video.
The tweeters do exactly what they are supposed to do. The system sounds very good now. To me everything sounds best with the Bose settings on Linear, everything else off. Treble and bass only need very little adjustment, depending on the noise when driving.

I was in the same boat as I sort of kept on the sidelines - interested but non-committal - through the first wave of orders. I finally emailed Nick about the time the second wave was filled up (Nick's email is on the first post of this thread and that was the link I used) and got a "standby" position in the second wave. Just this week that turned into a confirmed slot.
I don't think that Nick monitors this thread for interest but I do know that he does check emails directly to him so even if you haven't gotten a reply yet - try emailing him again - it may work out for you too as it did for me.

That said, I'm excited to say that we just closed up the group buy for the second batch of tweeter upgrades that will start production in the next few weeks! Thanks to everyone for the continued support – it's a blessing to be able to share our craft and art with so many people.
