In case you had some extra cash in your pocket after putting down a deposit for your Bentley, the fabled auto manufacturer just announced a collaboration with Naim Audio to produce "as live an in-car audio experience" as possible. The company claims that the new stereo systems were developed after 18 months of extensive research, and use the "next generation" in digital signal processing (DSP)—not to mention 1100 watts of power.

The 1100-watt amplifier optimizes sound for 15 separate loudspeaker channels. Significantly, it does this without the use of noisy fans. The speakers, meanwhile, are designed so that the sound always remains "within the car"—I presume that means as opposed to vibrating the living heck out of the trunk and door panels, like I've see on the street in New York City sometimes. No word yet on when the system will be available, or in which Bentley models.

Naim, incidentally, puts out some seriously expensive home stereo systems. They're in that rare stratosphere where even on the Naim Product page, they leave out all the prices. That's usually a good clue that normal people can't afford any of it.
