However, the Burmester sounds horrible in the 718, so the car itself matters. I like it as much as the decent Bose system in the C8. I also vaguely recall liking the Rockford Fosgate system in the Lancer Evolution, but that was a long time ago, and that car had a lot of road noise.
I guess not all Burm/Bose/B&O/B&W, etc. are created equal. The Burm on the 991.2GTS (sold) and the ‘22 Macan GTS is very good, to my ears. The B&O on some Audis are just okay and in others, I’d rate them very good. The Fender system in my kid’s GTI is surprisingly good. I’ll be checking the Burm box on future P-cars.
