Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great

I’ve a new to me 2019 Volvo XC60 with Harmon Kardon stereo system and XM Sirius.  Sounds a bit lifeless and not sure of either system quality or signal quality of Sirius. My older Volvo I fitted with Focal flax drivers and ran an iPod.  Much better overall.

Should I explore a different service and/or replace drivers?  Not looking for aural Nirvana here, just much better than MP3 sounding dreck.  Thanks

I'm shopping for a new car.  Volvo isn't on my list but audi is.   One reviewer said the Bowers and Wilkens stereo on the Volvo is better than the B&O in the Audi which I am looking at.

Sounds like your HK system is the consumer grade system rather than the B&W system which is highly rated.
