I have just received the Nov 07 issue of B & W's newsletter and am surprised to learn that B & W has ventured into car audio. Perhaps the timing is right now to offer Jaguar buyer's some after market high fidelity car audio system.

 

Jaguar XF will feature the latest Pro Logic II 7.1 channel surround technology from Dolby Lab. The newsletter stated that the system in the XF will incorporate a total of 14 loudspeakers, to perhaps rival its Mark Levison counterpart. What about this, having four metal-dome tweeters, nine Kevlar-diaphragm woofer and mid/bass units, including a solo front center and rear-surround pair and a single, rear mounted high-powered subwoofer. The 14 B & W speakers are driven by 440 watts of amplifier power.

 

Well, I am not sure of the SQ for sure, this XF model will only be launched in 2008...but will sure be an eye-opener and EAR-opener...

 

What do you think?
