    I own the full size Range Rover, and the Meridian sound system is my favourite in any car. Bang on clarity, amazing bass and so much volume to play around with you could hurt your ears. I've never went past 30/50

      Meridian Surround in my Evoque here also with 825w like in the video.
      If I ever go past 40 I might die.
      Perfectly balanced system, every song sounds amazingly good and the bass makes your whole body vibrate.

    A shame you aren’t using bang & olufsens premium system which is insane coming in at 2500 watss.

      ~1920w they don't have over 2'000.
      Then take the Meridian 1'700w Signature. It will easily outperform the B&O

    I swapped a Q8 with the Premium Plus package for a Range Rover Sport with the Meridian Sound System 6 months ago. I use the sound systems all the time and they’re both very good - clean, authentic, and well balanced. If I had to chose I’d give it to Meridian by a short head. B&O lacks a little mid-range although the bass is authoritative, and I kept having to tone down the treble. It took me two or three weeks to set up the Meridian but once I had, it won me over.

      Do you have the Meridian Surround with 825w like in the video? I mean the same Range Rover also... because I heard the B&O in an Audi A6 and the bass was nowhere near what my Evoque can deliver

    lets be real, most people arent buying a car only on its sound system. So if your getting a Jag/ Land Rover, youll be happy with the meridian options. And if your buying an Audi, Ford, Aston Martin, Lambo youll be happy with the bang and olufsen option.

    Very pointless to compare because each brand usually has a cheaper option from one brand and another more expensive one from another. On b,was they can offer Harmon Kardon on some and then the one costing 8 times more could be bang and olufsen. Plus each car has its own set up whihc could alter the experience. Unless a manufacturer offered two different brand options on the same car at the same price point, I don’t see much point in this.

    • @v12-s65
      @v12-s65 Рік тому

      They are both the mid level sound systems.
      17 speakers with 755w against 19 with 825w. Both surround systems too. What's not to compare?

      @@v12-s65 because they are essentially reviewing the brands. For certain manufactures, they use the different ones for various price points. BMW tend to use Harmon kardon for the lower end ones and then bang and olufsen for the premium, more powerful systems. Thus, it’s pointless to put forth a review suggesting such a thing when it’s all down to a like for like set up on each car.

    Meridian Surround is not the highest option on a Range Rover.
    There is also Signature Reference option which offers 1700W.
