I ended up dropping the Bose sound system option on my CT 4S when I fixed the spec because of the extra delay it would cause.
There has been lots of comment on the audio varying from the standard system is so bad it is a reason not to buy the car to it is perfectly adequate.
I haven’t been on a long journey yet but my first impression is good.
It has clear diction and none of the “chesty” colouration common on systems with exaggerated bass.
It probably lacks the top audio octave from 10kHz to 20kHz but that would be normal given directionality and drive unit location but there are only overtones up there.
The biggest thing I noticed compared to the Bose demo was the paucity of adjustments, basically just bass/treble and forward/lateral balance - no computed surround mode.
That is fine by me, but maybe some people would find that a deal breaker.
I have not decided whether it goes loud enough and only DAB radio source so far - I haven’t found where in the menus one may choose anything else yet…
So sound wise it is uncoloured and fine IMO, I will add to this thread when I get more experience with a wider range of source material.
