I've listened to both in the A5 (and have the B&O in my setup) and love it. Much better than the standard. My wife has the Bose in her Q7, and the quality in the B&O is much much better.

The value of Audi Care is debatable, the value of the B&O system is not (without even considering potential resale value)

If you can only do one, get the B&O system.

It is very good value for money. It is less than $1000 and if you are any sort of audiophile you will immediately get the benefit. I agree with the previous statements that it is by far the best radio I've ever heard in an Audi, save for the $10k B&O system.

B&O is the best stock system i have ever heard. Much better than the audio upgrades offered by bmw, jaguar & mb.

I've had Mark Levinson in an SC430 and Bose 5.1 Surround in an M45. Both were great. Outside of playing a 5.1 DVD-A in the Bose system the B&O system stands up well to either. I wouldn't even consider not having it.

Default Buzzing from panels?

Anybody else having that buzzing sound from speakers when the bass is really pumping? I have it turned up maybe 70% of the way and I can hear something vibrating in the back. Not sure what I can do about it, aside from talk to the dealer next time the car's in for service.

Thanks for all the replies. Guess I'm getting the B&O added before it's too late.

If you're going to spend that much on a car, why not go for the best audio they have to offer? I have absolutely no regrets getting the B&O and I've had my car for only a few days. It's definitely worth the money!

Does the A5/S5 B&O system have front tweeters that rise out of the dash like in the S8?

I find that a touch annoying.... especially when one randomly decides to stay in the dash.
