like the M?

that sucks. but who knows. id get the base with the stereo if it was good enough

 

It better be a HUGE improvement for me to pay extra for it. Being Bose, it has a lot to prove.

 

Has anyone heard the Bose system in the M?

 

I have, and it's not bad - way better than the BOSE system in my G, but so are most other systems compared to my G. I have a Mark Levinson System in my RX 330 and the BOSE system even in the M does not compete at all. Any BOSE system that I've ever listen to, no matter how much $$$ it was, it was all based on paper-coned drivers and cheep crap tweeters and components. The Mark Levinson System has all metal cone drivers, Ferro-Fluid cooled tweeters and word class components.

I don't care if there are 20" drivers in the doors. Anyone that knows about true Home Theater Systems [not found in stores] are about acoustics, timber-matching, and sound stage - not speaker sizes.

This system has a lot to prove, and I would have really liked if Infiniti went w/another manufacturer [M&K, RBH, Ect...], for BOSE and Home Theater are rarly used in the same sentence among people that know true Home Theater Sound reproducton.

...we'll see how they did soon enough.

 

I agree, sounds like ur into HT and high end audio, same here

I doubt we would ever see factory automotive applications using M&K or RBH, currently the big players are Bose, Infinity, Harman Kardon & JBL (mostly Harman companies coincidently). My bro has an '01 330 w/ an HK that kills my Bose. The current Bose system though not great could be much better if our acoustics were better. I've heard that some minor sound deadening in the doors helps a lot. Hopefully they payed more close attention to making the car quieter for this new 3-way system.

I was about to put in a 3-way Morel setup maybe I'll wait to see how good this new system and car is.

 

I am - I have about $75K into my home theater and I also own my own HT business [Intelligent Integrations LLC]. The best Factory system that I've heard to date is the Bangoff & Olfson system in the new Audi S line. Even though it may be a $6K option, once you here it it's worth every penny. This system even takes into consideration rattles and adds what is essentially dynamat in strategic locations to prevent rattles at any volume.

…and does this system have volume

 

Well that makes sense, same here as well, I just started an A/V & HT business, although I don't have quite as much invested in my system yet.

You have to wonder though, @ $6K does pay to spend the money in an option that you could probably out-do spending the same or less on aftermarket upgrades. As I mentioned before I almost invested in a Morel setup that would have been less $$$ and still performed incredibly well.

The idea that they are addressing the acoustics in that option is refreshing rather than trying to overpower the problems. Now, hopefully Infiniti has also addressed the acoustics of the new G.

 

Agreed...

Wow, thanks. Very impressive, seems like the first serious and real attempt at a high fidelity system in along time.....if ever.
