The other speakers are actually pretty decent for "premium" OEM but suffer from muddy sound in the mid-range, a common problem due to subpar amplification and being installed in giant resonating sheet metal i.e. In particular the B&O sub is A) not that powerful and B) in need of level management, which it does not have.
