Don't know if anyone else has noticed this.
Although the B&O system delivers very good sound, deep athmospheric bass and so on, the B8's interior solidity seems to be a significant step backwards over the B6/B7.
This became evident yesterday when I selected a bit of Trentmøller on the iPod. I'm not sure if anyone here is familiar with this Danish artist's work, but let's just say he likes his deep bass.
I noticed no distortion from the B&O speakers or sub, but by crikey the front door cards didn't like it much! The door pockets were completely empty so it wasn't any contents vibrating....
My old B6 QS had the (fantastic) Bose system and I could play what I liked, as loud as I liked and not a peep from the interior trim.
I must say I'm a little disappointed. Not the end of the world as all I need to do is turn the volume down a bit, but it has exposed another bit of cost-cutting in the construction of the later model....
