Hey
The new sennheiser system is ok for most people.
In my opinion it lacks of punch and clarity, Lots of distortion.
I want to upgrade..
Any plug and play amp options out there ?

Had the same issue with the Beats on my first gen Formentor, was expecting the Sennheiser system to be better but I guess not.For the first gen Formentor ARS-Shop has a few plug and play upgrades, amps, speakers, subs and they present their work on YouTube as well. I got their sub which works great in place of the Beats one. Also I got the Match 5.4 dsp amp, powerfull great little thing, which is plug and play with a specific adaptor but delivered the power mainly on the front speakers and the sub. Had to remove it as when parking the warning beeps out the front speakers were extremely loud. I m sure ARS offers amps that deliver power evenly to all speakers, you have to contact them and they will guide you. They specialize in upgrading the VAG family sound systems.

They said they don’t have any upgrades for current model.
Anyone thinks adding amp only with current speakers will be good enough upgrade?

Dont think it will work, your system must have a DSP amp as does mine, needs another DSP in its place, you must wait for somebody like ARS to work on it and find proper solutions. Meantime if your sub is a spare tire sub, like mine, you may look to upgrade the sub and it will make quite a difference. You may use the sub ARS have for the Beats system, if thats the case but have to check with them .
