Dunno, but I've got the B&O with MMI and I can't say I'm too happy.

Apparently customers with the B&O + MMI wouldn't want to override the power of the subwoofer, whereas people with the Audi sound system would.

I'm living in hope for a system update to fix this obvious flaw.

Loc is right, the fact that the much cheaper 'Audi Sound System' gets a subwoofer dial (seperate from Bass) and the B&O gets nothing, is why I am annoyed..

I feel generally my B&O system struggles to deliver Bass.
My door speakers seem to be doing most of the work (then at higher volumes start vibrating - natch), whereas my subwoofer never seems to be make much effort.

I've played back a Bass heavy track, and almost climbed into the boot/trunk to hear and feel the subwoofer. Although the subwoofer is on, it is certainly not 'carrying' the low end Bass for the system, nor is it displacing much air. (I could only feel some vibration, not the 'puff' effect you would expect.

It wouldn't matter so much if these things were tuneable via the DSP.
But that's another bag of worms.
Three different settings!? How long were B&O working on this? Half a morning with a couple of long tea-breaks inbetween?

To say I'm feeling short changed from this system would be an understatement

Withnail, I am seeing the same behaviour as you, subwoofer can barely be heard even when in the boot. (I have B&O without Navi). The front speakers are doing all the work and to compensate I normally fade it 2 or 3 clicks to the rear. Overall the sound is OK, but not nearly as good as I was expecting.

Yeah, I've played around with the settings as much as I can stand, but can't quite get the sub to handle the bass better..

One of the reasons I haven't been back to the dealer before now, was hearing on Audiworld, people who have had no physical connection to the sub at all.. As mine is actually connected, I assumed that the bass from the sub was just a bit thin.
As Drastik just commented about having a rattling parcel shelf due to the bass, we're definitely missing out on something!

Yeah, I reckon a trip to the dealer is coming up.
