Best song to test sound system...
#21
Yes but I am getting the rattles from the driver and passenger door panels and from the headliner right where the sunroof starts. Its pretty annoying. I am going to take it to the dealer to see if they can at least get rid of the vibrations in the door panels. According to Jaguar and Topix there is some kind of vibration kit they can apply. The headliner may end up continuing to be an issue.

My only wish, other than getting those ocassional rattles fixed, would be to somehow get video-in-motion playback of DVDs.

The B&W kit is by far the best in-car hi-fi I've ever heard. I play exclusively ALAC (Apple Lossless) files through an iPod connected to the USB interface. If I want to listen to something on my iPhone but not on the iPod, I'll stream it over Bluetooth, but I find that the sound quality suffers.
As regards test songs, I usually go for tracks that stretch multiple areas of the tonal range simultaneously. Think "Fixed Income" by DJ Shadow (actually most DJ Shadow stuff), but my all-time favourite test track is Daft Punk's "Da Funk". I find that if a system can keep control of the drums and bass while replaying the horn & high-hat without undue harshness, then it's a sound system for me.

My wife, when she saw the Bowers & Wilkins badge in the door, remarked upon it and asked whether we were going to buy a car for its stereo!
I can't honestly say that the stereo didn't play a significant part in my purchasing decision!

I saw that. I tweeted B&W about it and didn't get a reply from them. I'm just glad mine has a B&W system. I'm a real B&W fanboy, as I have DM603 S2 speakers in the study, a Zeppelin iPod dock in the conservatory, and a 7.1 system in the living room using the PV-1 sub, 5 in-wall and 2 in-ceiling speakers.
