#2 of 19 Harman/Kardon audio system by priggly

There is lots of talk about the mechanicals of the car but how is the H/K audio system, that's what I want to know?
 
Is it truly audiophile quality or simply a snow job based on the name with a mediocre sound quality?
 
Can anyone who has it answer that?
 
Thanks so much.

I've cranked up several of the xm rock stations to full volume, and they've sounded great with absolutely no cracking.

Thanks for your reply.
 
How does the system sound with CD's?

Very good, and this is with CDs I've burned off of my computer. Has some Led Zeppelin up full volume to demonstrate to my friend and he asked me to turn it down. We'll see what happens 20,000 miles and 2 years down the road, but for now it sounds great.

Many thanks rake2.
 
The quality of the audio system may be THE determining factor in my decision to buy the car. It's high time GM started putting true premium audio systems in their cars as opposed to the usual Delphi junk of yesteryear.

Go check one out, then, and take your own cds for a test. I wouldn't consider myself a music afficionado, but I've been amazed at how clear it is at full volume. Add the fact that this car is quiet with respect to road noise, and it makes the listening experience even better.

H/K will not put out a "snow job" system. And this is the first system in a GM car so they made sure it was done right.
