Actually there's a Mcintosh system that's optional in the Ford GT.
Actually, McIntosh has been with Subaru since 1998. The complete system has their branding on it (headunit, amp, speakers & cd changer) & it's only available in a few Asian markets as well as Oz/NZ. It's an option for top versions of the Legacy.

Bummer...

Naim? Krell?

OOoooooo! Maybe MBL could make some of those funky radial speakers! They're German...
Naim now puts their name on Bentley audio systems and Krell is owned by Mark Levinson (or is it vice versa)???

Harmon Kardon makes the LG7 for BMW...although it has the high end audio system available aswell which has like 2 amps in the trunk(reducing space) aswell as 14 speakers(i think)
The system in the Audi does have nice sound although it doesn't offer AUX input AUX will only be available starting in 08-09


and if u wanna talk about expensive ones.....the one u can get in the Rolls Royce costs 38000$ approx.

B&W does not do car audio. B&W loudspeakers are good primarily because of their cabinet designs.
They are now.

Has anyone seen a comparison review/test between the BMW Logic7/Individual Audio System and the Lexus Mark Levinson?

Friends of mine own both types-- I think that the ML sounds a bit better than the L7... just a little bit.

That seems to be the consensus. I wonder how the BMW Individual Sound System rates against the Mark Levinson?

Has anyone had a chance to compare and share an objective opinion?
