I was driving my wife's new 2008 Acura RDX

and seem to dislike her "Elliot Scheiner ELS" fancy system. My Bose in the Acura 3.2 TL S (2002) is more natural in the mid range at least on redbook. At least less fatiguing.

My impression is that either the cdp section or the speakers have waay excessive high frequency energy presence peaks (intentional?) and it can be fatiguing fast. And the highs and lows are not extended.

Any comments from other owners of the ELS system?

Perhaps the room acoustics aren't the best. Have you considered adding sound-absorbing materials throughout the car's hard surfaces, such as the windows? :~)

Have you made sure the treble adjustment isn't cranked all the way up? Every time I turn on a stereo in a test drive or a rental car, the treble and bass are maxed out. I guess some people like it like that.
