HK Sound System, is it the same one in the F10?

Has it been updated/improved at all? B/W is not in my budget, so I'm hoping they made the HK better than the F10's.

Some parts are shared, others like amplifier are new and shared with the G11 7 Series

I've checked the HK in G30 today and in my subjective opinion it sounds even better than in case of G11/G12.

The HK unit in the F10 sounds great.

Yeah it sounds good, but I was curious if they made it better, which sounds like they did!

Cabin dimensions and design can make a big difference in sound quality
So even the same system in another car can sound different

Only way is to test a car with it.
But then the speakers may not be run in yet and the settings may not be to your type of music.

So its difficult to test and impossible to predict for customers
