Levinson vs Bang/Olufsen

The ML isn't that great, despite all the hype. Unfortunately, none of the "big name" reviewers are being very honest about the ML.
As for the B&O system, never listened to one.
Do you own a B&O system and what is your opinion of it?

Just listened to a home version of the B&O system. I'd rank it as "not bad" or about a 6/7 on my 10 scale. The sound is VERY warmish and not neutral at all. A bit too much midbass. Mids were a bit too reserved and laid back - not enough neutrality or presence. Tweeters sounded like they didn't have the "air" or "extension" that I'm used to. But then I'm comparing them with the Dynaudio Esotar 2 series, a definite "10" in my book.
Now here's the thing - if B&O could replicate the same sound I heard in the home system for the car then they are doing a very nice job. Quite frankly though, the 1st gen LS430 ML system (complete with compression horns, etc) was better than the B&O home demo system.
Still have to find some time at the Mercedes dealership to listen to the B&O car system.
