The home systems are superior in terms of contruction and components used. One thing I am not sure if the systems are made in-house. I've heard the McIntosh car components are actually made by Clarion.
ML reference components typically cost at least 6 - 7K a piece, with the high end amps boasting 5 digit price tags.

I haven't had a chance recently to listen to it extensively. I hope I can sometime within the next year again.
Screw price to performance, when you start spending 100k$ on a depreciating object, it doesn't matter anymore. You want the best money can buy.

I wish i could get an mp3 of whatever that song is. Sounds awesome.

If the ML in the LS 460 was sold independently as a home system, it would cost $170,000!

I like the ML more than the B&O.
I still want too hear Linn in the Aston Martin and Burmester in the Bugatti.
Holy cow A8 / S8 / R8 have the B&O. Wonder if they will have it soon in the Q7.
So going too have to go into the Audi dealership and test out the equipment lol.
One thing ML is owned by Harman Kardon (?Sp) which is in BMW.
I wonder how the audio system in a Bentley and Rolls Royce are?

Probably costs like $8500 - $10,000 CDN for the system.
Honestly who in their right mind would turn down an Mark Levinson Soundsystem?
