My comparison is limited to a 2017 convertible Mustang with a Shaker system and a 2021 Mustang convertible with B&O using my favorite playlist via iTunes Music and Apple CarPlay.
The Shaker system had little bass until I added a powered JL Audio 10” sub. It was a relatively inexpensive upgrade and made the Shaker system come to life. When shopping for a new convertible, I again connected to CarPlay and I found the B&O system a little (not a lot) better than my Shaker + JL Audio setup.
I was always plenty satisfied with my 2017 setup but never liked having the sub box mounted flat up behind my back seat, so I opted for the very clean look of the B&O. Maybe after I own the car a while I may decide to do the sub upgrade, but out of the gate it sounded better than what I had before so I’ll likely be just fine with it.
