How's the sound quality?

I have a 2000 TL and though I have much love for my car, I have to be honest with myself- I am going to need a new one in a year or two (I've really put on the mileage!).

Anyways, I have thoroughly researched the 04 TL and the 04 TSX, and the one thing that is keeping my on the fence actually, is the sound system! How is the sound in the TSX, is is clear, is it detailed, how are the highs/lows? Obviously the TSX won't have the same quality as the upcoming TL's DVD audio, but I can live with a few shades down from that.

Thanks,
Joe

I have no problem with radio reception. Its probably as good as FM reception can get.

That's a curious question for me. I have a stupid question: Do speakers need to warm up?

Sometimes when I first turn on my TSX's stereo--whether it's FM or CD--the basses sound very shallow and flat. But after just a few minutes, I'll get really amazing bass. At first I thought it was my imagination or the weather or the humidity, but I've duplicated it a few times.

Overall, with the exception of the first few minutes, I'm quite pleased with my TSX's stereo. Of course, CDs are much better than FM.

Has anyone heard both the current TL (Bose) and TSX stereo to compare? A lot of TL owners aren't happy with theirs, although I like it just fine...

the flipside is a lot of TSX owners aren't happy with the stereo. Many complain of buzzing in the doors when low bass frequencies are played. Personally, I like the sound system a lot.
