Default B&O sound system ready for order! only $6,700?!?

Why is it only $850 in the S5, but over $6k in the Q7?

Default Much more comprehensive upgrade for the Q7 and A8/S8..

In the Q7 and the A8, you get 1000 watts, individually amplified speakers, generally a much higher level of audio. The S5 system is 500 watts and the speakers are passive - it's a simpler upgrade to the basic system. It sounds very good, but the system in the Q7 is amazing... but yeah, over 6 grand, you better be in the music business to justify it!

I guess with the Bang system, you get 1000 watts, but I don't see where $6k comes from

Default Nothing - I compared them both directly....

The difference is zero, to me anyway and since I am not smone who drives around with the stero pumped up and the windows down, didn't see the point.

Default exactly and $6K is less than what my home B&O goes for...

still I didn't plunge the extra money (I would on an R8 ofcourse) the BOSE $650 sounds fine
