I've never found fault with Bose.

I have high-end home theater and a good ear for high fidelity audio and don't understand those who say Bose systems sound inferior. Audio systems are subjective, so get what ever sounds good to you.
Have you heard a Sony system?
No comparison on XM radio!

My C6 is ok, my wifes Harmon Kardon in her Buick is way better, hoping that the Bose in the C7 I'll get is good. My hearing is poor so maybe it will be ok.

The Sony system in my Ford Taurus daily driver is far superior in sound with the XM radio!
What's up Bose?
I expected much higher quality sound!
My Bose system (3lt) sounded terrible with the XM radio. I went down and bought an Ipod touch and bought some tunes off Itunes, downloaded at high speed and it sounds great.

I've owned a few cars in my time with BOSE audio. All have been terrible and eventually replaced (although I have not heard the C7 system). Currently rock'n the Bang and Olufsen system in my S4, which for a factory system is very nice- only a $800 option as well.

I'm disappointed by this thread. After being thoroughly spoiled by the sound system in my Acura TL and hearing the wonderful Dynaudio system in the (much much cheaper) VW Gof R, this thread vexes me. I'm very vexed.

10x better than the c6 system (comparing 3LT c7 bose) but yes, all bose stuff sucks. Doesn't compare to the alpine system in my friends Dodge 3/4 ton. That is the best factory stereo I've heard.
