Which is the best standard audio system?

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I did a search and after going into multiple wiring options I now feel somewhat confused (and I thought that SDH telecommunications was complex :eek: ).

Which is the best standard system to try to go for? Symphony? Bose? Are both available in the same car? I've only ever sat in a 2001 tdi that had a Chorus single CD system and I don't know if it had Bose Speakers, but the sound was very, very good...

I have a Symphony II with Bose, the sound is very good for an off the shelf audio package. I certainly wouldn't be tempted to upgrade to an aftermarket system.

We have a Concert with just the standard front door speakers and it sounds extremely good for a basic hifi - to us anyway! The only car we've had that sounded better was the Jag X300 XJR.

I would like to hear what the Bose system is like - if it's better still, then.... So, I'll be nosing around the Bose equipped cars on Saturday at Castle Coombe then ;)

Have a listen to mine if you like - it's a retro-fit version, so will give you a better idea of what can be done to the standard setup.

Cheers,
