Default [Upgrade Project] B&O to Brax sound system

Hello,

This is an open topic, for audiophiles. As I was passing through YelloHat store, I met a sound designer who suggested Brax as a brand to install into my car (Audi A8).

Now from what I understand, that the small tweeters that B&O uses at the fronts are going to be disabled (only the sound) while keeping their operation (up/down) running.

Everything in the car from B&O is going to be replaced by Brax/Helix combination. Speakers, cables, amps and subwoofers. The metallic grills are going to be the same, modification is only inside.

Now my questions are:
1- How far the sound quality is going to improve?
2- Is the MMI going to be affected?


Full system is 12,200$

Advice from experts is appreciated.

I guess that the B&O system with the equalizers built in were set up to take into account the speakers chosen by them. With the old Bose systems that were used this resulted in poor sound - I don't know about B&O.
