What is the difference between the small BO and large BO audio systems in the Audi A6L?
2 Answers
The large BO audio system has more speakers and higher speaker power, and it is also more expensive. Here are the detailed differences: 1. BOSE Audio: The audio system in the Audi A6 is from BOSE. BOSE is one of the largest speaker manufacturers in the United States, headquartered in Massachusetts, with hundreds of engineers dedicated to research and development. It is a wholly-owned independent company. BOSE products also excel in the automotive audio and aerospace technology fields. Founded in 1964 by Dr. Amar-G. Bose, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the company has always adhered to the philosophy of 'pursuing the ultimate in music through relentless exploration,' investing 100% of its earnings into corporate development and product research. 2. Audio Configuration: The Audi A6 allows both the driver and passengers to enjoy natural surround sound, even through traditional CDs. In the automotive industry, BOSE was the first to introduce a 5.1 surround sound system in the Maybach 57/Maybach.
Recently, I’ve been researching the A6L sound system and have some insights. The small BO is the basic version, with 14 speakers and 755 watts of power, which is sufficient for pop music—clear tones without harshness. The big BO steps up with 19 speakers and a 1920-watt amplifier, most notably delivering deeper bass and crisp high-end details like guitar harmonics. I compared the same track "Hotel California," and with the big BO, you can hear the rustling of audience members turning sheet music and the layered details of the drummer switching sticks in the front row. There’s also a hidden perk: when the big BO starts up, the speakers slowly rise, and the central display shows a B&O-exclusive animation, elevating the sense of ceremony. The upgrade costs 30,000 yuan more, but audiophiles would definitely go for the big BO.
