Never keeping my main car long enough to warrant a custom install (I change
that vehicle every 70,000-90,000 miles (110,000-145,000 km) I listen to what
is installed.  This one has an active Bose 14 speaker system with SirusXM,
AM/FM, CD and USB/Bluetooth streaming.

As nice sounding as it is, I guess I am old enough to appreciate and run a
good home stereo.  Hall-Effect CD to a monster Swiss built amp, to massive
Altecs with 15in (24cm) drivers quickly reveals any compromises in the
production.

Back to cars, well driven "road music" is always a joy.  

The mention of Mike Olfield is interesting, as I find the take-away listening
in the car, vs Internet (Pandora via Sonos) and then rendered on my main
stereo is very different.  

A sound engineer explained to me why certain mixes appeal more in the car,
but I'd have to ask him again to share his thoughts.

Cheers,

Steve
