How's it sound,mhh??
Mmm....I'm still not sure. It's probably in the setup but it's too bassy on some songs if I turn up the sub amp. I'll discuss it with my installer after I get home. I'm in Sydney CBD if you want to have a listen to it.

Interesting mhh…I was looking at the after-market add-ons. I guess you’ve tried adjusting the fader to get the best sound…and listening to some high fidelity sources Apparently the factory sub-woofer is linked to the front-speakers so presumably the after-market sub is linked to the rear?
Funny I was also a bit underwhelmed and no real audiophile either…then I remembered the few high resolution (192 or 96 kHz 24-bit) albums I have, then converted them to FLAC and put them on a USB stick. Not underwhelmed any more.
L.A. Woman - The Doors
Let’s Get It On - Marvin Gaye
Spectrum - Billy Cobham
Tutu - Miles Davis
Supernatural - Santana
I need more now :smile:
mhh, is your installer in Sydney?
Improving the source will help just about any system. The question is how does Tesla's best effort compare with other factory car systems using the same source. The answer is OK, but a fair way off the best. At the car's price point, the the premium system is actually pretty competitive and decent value.

Interesting that you'd say that - I took my S with upgraded sound into the guys at Metrosound while they were upgrading my wife's car. The verdict from them was that the system was up near the top of the heap for factory sound - and considerably better than most including very high end cars. These guys get things like new Bentleys in to upgrade the factory stereo. They felt that they could improve it, but that it wasn't a bad setup.
That is convincing to hear from an actual owner of both B&O Advance & Tesla UHFS and so you have convinced me. It might be interesting to have a listen to some high resolution FLAC recordings on USB to see if that improves your opinion like it did mine.
Apart from the Sonos, you may have seen these fairly costly options, or less costly, just replace some of the drivers.

I've heard of some strange fetishes over the years, but calling listening to pure audio a kink is a new one on me:biggrin:Thanks for the kinks @whitestar ... the second one is very informative and the first one with the system from Light Harmonic looks very interesting ..
I will keep watching this thread and post anything that I find out.

I'd probably be happy to cough up another grand or a bit more to install a better sound system.
anyone want to join in so we can get a pro installer to do it right, and better prices on the hardware?
alternatively, our elite all the hardware and get together to do the install ourselves. I own LOTS of tools, maybe not the trim-removal types, 'though...
I agree, they (Light Harmonic) look good and drop-in is the way to go. Anyone know a good installer?If you can find an installer then count my in ... I'm keen on the Light Harmonic system with the replacement amp & woofer ... seems like a good drop in replacement .... I'm also going to see if there was something similar with a Bluetooth module that allowed it to be configured via an app or such like.
I am Melbourne based, but more than happy to trip up to Sydney if the installer is there.
