The Audi does not have an equalizer either
I have HK in my current F10; I (and my teenage son)listened to the B&W on an unregistered G30 in the dealers, who then loaned me a G30 with HK for a day.

The HK in the G30 is noticeably better than in the F10 - better clarity, better placement. The B&W was amazing - even to ear bleeding levels - with better bass extension, great feeling of sitting in a concert hall. The lights in the door tweeters are annoying.

But, in normal use, with the car moving, the HK is going to be close to the B&W; given the massive price difference, I stayed with the HK - and used the money saved for some other useless toys!
