No EQ with HK Stereo?

Just read the Motor Trend review where they mentioned the X2 with HK stereo only has bass and treble controls and no EQ. Is this true?

That's correct, no EQ.

is there any difference in the 'head unit' or controls between the HK and standard stereo? Or is it just the amp and speakers themselves?

In the US where you can only get the HiFi or h/k when I was test driving I saw no functional differences between the two from the head unit side, there were of course significant audio differences.

I gather there's another unit below the HiFi that's available in other countries that I don't have experience with.

I think the standard stereo in Australia is a 6 speaker 100W system.

The only option is the H/K, 12 speaker 360W(?)

Glad to hear (pardon the pun), that the HK does sound better, coz I had to order mine without having heard the HK system. Problems with living in a small town...very limited choice of demo vehicles and no X2 had the HK.

In fact...I ordered Mineral Grey without seeing an actual X2 in that colour!

cheers
