The Krell is clean and still excellent. I added a Sundown SA 8 as no stock system will ever have enough bass. Although, the Burmester in the Panamera comes close. Never liked the sound of ELS. My RL had Bose which sounded ok, but the front speakers blew and had to be replaced.

I too have a long commute at 1.5 hours and can confirm the RLX makes a great commuter car.

 

As others have mentioned, the Krell sound system in the RLX provides outstanding clarity of the notes and vocals and wonderful definition of the instruments. The bass is perfectly suited to the music BUT won't give you "booming" bass if that is important to you.

As a daily driver, the RLX is close to ideal...providing a smooth, quiet ride in comfort and safety while also being equipped with a surprising "Sporty side" if you "feel the need" to let off some steam and have some fun.

Just my two cents Good luck with your purchase decision.

 

In my experience, the Krell Audio system is usually better than the data you can send it.

For example, if you are streaming Amazon or Pandora, you know that the system is capable of more, but you're not getting it from the stream. It's great, but you know the system is capable of more and is limited by either the LTE stream or the Bluetooth stream.

If you're playing iPod HQ audio, or something similar, or maybe FM HD, you'll be amazed so long as you really are getting the high quality signal.

Satellite probably sounds better than it would sound on another Honda/Acura system, but even with the decompression you can still tell its satellite.

You can tune Krell to be especially good with the human voice and with classical music.

If you're after window rattling bass and artists who can't carry it without an Auto-Tune, the Krell system is a waste of money.

 

 

It's great, no complaints other than bass although, there is not one oem system with enough bass. I added a sundown sa8 and it is sufficient. Now the rear deck is rattling...
