Surround or Stereo Speaker Setting

[DFS]

As the question infers, do you prefer the B&O system in the surround sound or stereo sound setting mode? I have 40% hearing loss and have a tough time discerning the best sound so I am curious what people prefer.

Thanks in advance,

Not what you're asking but I run my highs/mids in the front, mids in the rear and 4 subs under the seat. If you're not having a great time hearing...go aftermarket and turn it up

Im not in love with either. I like Surround for general listening. It has a much fuller sound and does better with songs that have a lot going on: Rock, Hip Hop, Country, etc. It is a little muddier than stereo but really opens up the soundstage. I prefer stereo for audiobooks, podcasts, and more critical listening music like jazz/classical/etc.

Very good to know, thank you for your feedback!

I actually prefer stereo. I feel I can hear all the speakers going over surround.

You are right, surround sometimes make the speakers acting weird especially with apple carplay. Some music just play only with center speakers, i stay with stereo.
