Why does everyone hate the B&O stereo?

[GCATX]

Not sure as it is the first Caddy I've owned but the stereo in our 17" Escalade Platinum is the first car stereo that I'm perfectly happy with and would not do a thing to. It's a Bose. Very impressed.

We have an '18 with the bose, I honestly can't say if the stereo is any good, I never want to drive it. The Raptor is the "family" vehicle.
The Raptor is more refined in every way, to me. Escalade heads up display is kind of neat though.

The Escalade is the most comfortable and enjoyable driving experience I've ever had off the track. I have never even been in a Raptor, not even at a dealership. First time will be when I drive it off the lot. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Yes, Maine may be fvcked up politically but God didn't spare the scenery up here! This is a big city park in Portland.

That would be the first Blose that didn’t overemphasize the mid bass in history. I had a B5 Audi S4 years ago with a Bose, and there some hidden code hacks you could use to make it decent, but, like the B&O here, it was far from great and required almost a total tear out to remedy.

As for Maine, love it. We spent our 10th anniversary up there in/around KBP, staying at Hidden Pond. Would go back in an instant. If you’re driving, and have never been, go to Cape Porpoise...absolutely picturesque fishing village. Eat/drink at The Ramp, check out Goose Rocks beach while you’re there.

Make sure they set the air pressures at 36 all around to start. You can adjust them later. My 18 was set at 50 psi and my 19 was at 45. I think it’s high for shipping but most dealers don’t check that on delivery. That will make your ride nice.

Will do. Going to Burlington to work this week so will be fun to explore a new place. As for the Bose, I just brought up the EQ and adjusted it to my liking and it's great....as far as I'm concerned. If the B&O is anywhere near it I'll be happy.

So since you have both, how does the B&O compare. No, I can't read your reply above sans pictures.

Would never have thought about that. Thanks

You can't ready my post? I've never cranked the escalade stereo, I never drive it. I will check it out though.

None of it. JJ and his wife have a house and office there. All the storyboard and dailies / reshoots / reviews were done there when he was on vacation.

I was reading this thinking, "Who the hell vacations in a ******** like Camden NJ!!!! " I didn't know there was a Camden Maine, I just Googled it.
