Six speakers instead of ten. My guess is no subwoofer and maybe no front center. Not sure which others are removed.

You can see some visual differences between select and premium's dash areas on the configurator... But it's hard to tell exactly how different they are materially.

It will be like all other systems. Audio purists will not like the B&O, others will be fine with it. One thing is certain, the simpler systems, like the one in the Select, are the easiest to upgrade after the fact. I am usually fine with most systems after some tweaking of the treble and bass.

While I have a premium model, the sound system was just an added nicety to me, not a major purchase consideration. For myself and most people, it'll do just fine. For those who want a better concert hall experience, there will be aftermarket vendors.

I am on the opposite end of the spectrum. Mainly listen to news & talk AM stations. Would have rather not have the premium audio and have something else instead, like AC cooled seats or even lit emblem, extra USB connectors, electrochromic tinted windows...bright color paint.

I have already been looking at replacement speakers. After I get the car I will have to see how easy it is to remove that dash screen and get to the speakers. also will have to find out it these are 2 or 4ohm speakers.

Ive been there and I'm done upgrading sound systems. My spec v has quite a bit of money invested in the sound system and I am at the point where i need to upgrade the head unit again. Once you start you dont stop.

I had one about 20 years ago. It worked ok but used a lot of room. I had an underseat type subwoofer in my Tundra that I thought was much better, and it did not take much room. I'm not sure if there would be room for something like that in the MME.
