Comparison from 2010:

I've been satisfied w/ the ML system in my 2009 LS, but I do wish the treble could be boosted further
(I have it maxed)

 

Acura ELS system in the 09 TL came in first in that comparison. Despite being the least expensive audio system of all of them I am not surprised, it is a excellent system tuned by Elliot Scheiner. My parents 08 TL came standard with the ELS system with DVD Audio playback. I tried a couple DVD-A discs in it and they sound amazing, just as good as any other high end system in cars costing much more, the one in the 09 TL is supposed to improved, unfortunately DVD Audio is dead, you can hardly find the discs anymore and there is not much of a selection.

The KRELL audio system available in the Acura RLX is rated as the best current car audio system, wish they would offer that system in more models.

 

I like all branded sounded system for cars.

Yes, even I like BOSE as well (which many people say that they suck and spout things like BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment)

I do like the BOSE system that is used in Mazda as well as in Nissan/Infiniti cars =)

I also heard the JBL system in the Peugeot 508 and I liked it as well (and the Arkamys processing is working on it).

With that said:
That's great to know..............because I've never heard of this brand named KRELL. I've read some audio reviews recently and it looks like Honda/Acura buyers need not worry.

Here's an article about it on Sound and Vision:
