bang and olefson sound
I recently ordered an S5 cabriolet and the company in Germany did everything right except they didn't install the Bang and Olefson sound system that I had ordered. Instead, they installed the standard one. Now I am in the position of taking the car (the dealership is offering to cover my first month lease payment) or of having to reorder the car and wait an additional 3 months (I have already been waiting 3 months).
Is it worth the wait? The dealership tells me that the standard sound system is still of premium quality. How much better is Bang and Olefson anyways?

Having said that, here is an option to consider.
I know you are leasing, but perhaps you could use the money you save to upgrade the sound system with aftermarket equipment. Audio component companies are aware that many people lease their vehicles and want stealth, reversible system installs. There are options available for just this.

No way I would take it without. The B&O 14 speaker, 515 watt system is awesome.
Find another dealer that has what you want in stock. You'll be kicking yourself later if you compromise, and then it's too late.

I think the B&O system sucks. B&O is not a premium company, they're simply a design company that makes great looking gear. Like Bose, its all reputation with zero actual quality. Don't waste your time- stock and B&O are bad. Just different bad.
Car companies pick brands of audio gear that have well recognized names such as JBL, Infinity, Bose etc. None of these brands are good- at all. Its all about marketing, not about actual quality. They also recognize that 99.9% of the people have no idea of what good sound actually is.

My post helps him by explaining that it doesn't matter which system. Don't fret. They both suck. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, Mr. Din B.
