Default The Audi Bose systems are not very high quality...

Had Bose in B5 and Symphony in the B6. The Bose was just garbage in comparison. I was happy to find a CPO sans Bose so I could piece-meal the system in.

Default Doesn't symphony come w/ Bose standard these days, or is it just my car?

Regardless, I took the Bose speakers out (except for the sub-standard subwoofer). Of course they're still a step up from the Nokia speakers that came in my old B5.

Default in my B5 it's a Symphony head unit, bose speakers

though the Symphony head unit was available with and without bose speakers/amps/etc.

However, in our B7, there is no Bose, yet the sound is *far* better than my B5, IMO.

Totally agree. The sound in the B7 is very nice.
