[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for the best factory audio system. My friend has a Tesla and the audio sounds amazing, but I don't want to get a Tesla for various reasons.

Any car/SUV with a factory sound system better than Tesla? Or at least as good?

I don't trust the random "best audio" lists because my car is frequently on them and it isn't nearly as good as the Tesla.

Looking at available measurements on the Tesla Model S, it looks to have been well engineered to deliver the targeted Harman listening curve. This is why it sounds good to you because few home audio systems deliver this level of tonal balance. Even expensive audio gear would require careful component matching, placement, time alignment, and EQ-ing to come close. Of course, a home system will deliver far better imaging, and is a lower noise environment, but a well-engineered car audio system has a natural advantage in terms of frequency response, distortion, and dynamics.

That said, most of the better "premium" audio systems in German brands are designed this way, using a large number of drivers and DSP to achieve great audio performance. The Burmester and Bose systems in MB and Porsche cars certainly are. I'm not as familiar with BMW. [/quote]
