Professional HiFi

Can anyone tell me where the 16 speakers of the Professional HiFi are located?
Also any other info/comments on this system would be much appreciated.

Take a look at the attachment.

I have this ordered for my car and have already heard it on a demonstrator model. It is simply breathtaking but is very sensitive to being equalised properly so that right amount of sound is channel to the correct speaker. Once tweaked, it is awesome and the standard sound system is just simply awful for everything but simple commentary/radio 4!!

I can see a couple of tweeters in the A posts and the subs are under the front seats.. Other than that you can really see anything that suggests you have this option. But....... oh my god, it is amazing! just get it

Just for completeness, I think that the four speakers in the back are located in the roof on the F11 Touring, just as in the E61 Touring.

The HiFi Professional has technology from these guys:

Apparently used by Bentley also!

Mostly I think it needs a play-in period. To me it sounds better and better for every trip. I also had to lower the low freqencies a little bit to suit my taste.

And no high compressed MP3's like 128kbit/s, I use WMA lossless.

That's because the stylus has to adapt to the grooves in your personal record collection .

when I turn up my system loud, sometimes I hear a weird sound (like something is lose) coming from the back speakers. I think its coming from the sub-woofers underneath the seat. idk Anyone hear anything similar?

Where do you get ur lossless audio files from, or do u just convert them from other formats?

I was looking for ALAC files (Apple Lossless) but wasn't able to find on the net...

I still by CD's and rip them myself. I have not been able to find legal lossless options on the net either. You can find .flac on torrent and convert them but it was a lot of hassle in my opinion.
