Now that blows even more as Driving Assistant Pro is incredibly useful on long highway drives and even stop/go traffic at times in the city. $1700 standalone option in the NA market and worth every penny.

Its major advantage I found over the HK was the clarity at higher volumes, that's where the HK falls apart and starts to distort badly. If I end up keeping my car longer term I will definitely be upgrading it.

I wish there is a way to defeat the DSP for the B&W. My only complaint with it but have found through extensive testing "concert" is the best sound profile above 20% volume and "studio" below that (when the wife is in the car). I live on 40% plus and the clarity plus absolutely tight accurate bass is glorious.
