Specs im not sure...I know it still had the 11 speakers but MB lowered the bass levels in later years due to complaints of too much BOOM.
In my friend's 92 400SEL it is labeled BOSE on the center channel speaker atop the mirror area.

Garbage in garbage out. A crummy signal amplified is still a crummy signal.
I got curious and swapped out my original radio for the Audio 10 in my 126 and noticed a lot better sound quality. Then again the Europeans are a bit more picky than the American market. There are people out there that actually like the boomy sound of those GM delco radios.
My 99 has the rearview speaker as well.
Hmmm I think they could probably still stand to lower the bass on the system. Its too much at the center "default" position. And ironically this is coming from someone who has a high wattage subwoofer on his Bang & Oulfsen system at home.
The Bose is "ok" but my personal favorite is the Dynaudio system that Volvo used in the C70 convertible. It had adjustable dolby pro logic and was great for a convertible as it simulated the sound of a closed cabin with the top down.
