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

Thanks, @reubent, I should have been more clear in my caution about the potential cost of streaming while in the car. I was referring to streaming from services like Tidal, Apple Music or Spotify which would be streamed through your cellular connection. Sirius is a subscription satellite feed so that isn't an issue.

One thing to consider is the cost of streaming from your phone if you don't have unlimited minutes as part of your plan.
