Bro got Raptor

For me, i have always put B&O (even home audio) into the category of high-end BOSE. Awesome design. WHAM type of sound that initially will impress anyone. But not particularly accurate or at same level sonically as their price suggest.

That bad :bounce: ? I haven't listened to any of B&O's integrated setups or anything they have put out in home for the last 10 plus years so I'll defer to someone who is more of an expert.

Also, just to benchmark my lack of knowledge and limited ear for differentiation, beyond a set of Magnepan's which I am partial to, I can't really hear much of a difference when you get into higher end speakers. Back to back, in a sound room, I can tell when someone switches speakers but I can't pick apart all of the changes in the sound.
 
Can’t beat the Gen 1 Raptors...unless its a Gen 5 TRdP

Yep. They definitely put a premium on their form side. Same with McIntosh.

HAHA,
Bose - All highs and no lows, so it must be Bose!!

In the newer Lincolns, they use Revel stuff.. Which is from Harman as well..
Don't know why they didn't use Revel in the Raptors??

So is Mark Levinson of Lexus. Budget probably. Lincoln gets fancy Revel because their cars cost more. Fords get (cheap end) B&O.

As for home audio, it is always interesting bc the last time i was in a B&O store, their demo was full blasting their sound system to show off. When a demo does full throttle demo, you got to question what they are hiding at lower volumes where delicate notes may not show up.
 
Just had one pull behind me as I was driving. He/she hit the gas to close the gap. Holy sh*t that thing sounds good.
 
damn,, that's got the new 2nd gen high output 3.5 ecoboost with the new 10 speed tranny. I own a 2018 f150 xlt with the 2nd gen 3.5 ecoboost. Mine is quick as hell, I could only imagine how that HO engine feels.
