To the original question, they are both good systems and they are both different. I had the H&K when I had the 2019 BMW X3 M40i and thought it was a good system with to need to updgrade. Then I got the B&W in my 2023 and said dang, what an improvement. Sound quality was better. The question is: If I only had the H&K, would I spend $$ to upgrade, no, but that's just me.
