What I should have said is that the sound is great (other than a fluttering speaker at the moment when I'm at seriously loud volumes). I have the premium sound pack and would love to hear the B&O...I love the dash speakers on that too!

I can recall previous comments on here, that there is a considerable difference between the Standard and Premium, but not so much between Premium and B&O (very expensive).

Having said that though, my apologies if you are a musician, because you might be able to hear a considerable difference, but only WHEN PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF. - smile

Does that screen have to stay up all the time, to control the audio etc?

I'd like to think that the screen drops down, but I can't find a single photo on line that suggests this. Hope it does though, Aston Martin putting function before design is quite alien.
It is fixed on GT12, I assume to save weight. It drops down on vanquish. But you'll have to ask a vanquish owner whether despite being able to drop down, it needs to stay up most of the time from a functionality point of view- to be fair, that is the same with many screens including the one in my audi

Agree. B&O is style over function. As with their home audio. Plus it's heavy and in the roadster, obtrusive (into the already small boot)
