In any case, so all of my library is as high quality as it can be.

In our F15, we have the Harmon Kardon system, and its perfectly fine. It doesn't distort unless you get to ear splitting levels. The bass could be a bit more but its still perfectly fine at reasonable listening levels. We want to get a g05 but there's no real way for me to audition the B&W system, none of the X5s they stock at the dealership has that option, nor would they appreciate it if I sat there trying to listen to my music for a long enough time or at a loud volume to justify its price point. My question is, how good is the B&W system? is it really worth the price?
I tried the amazon music through Apple car play, the BW is much better than HK.
I am no professional on speaker though. I have HK in F15 because HK is standard
Get some lossless audio files, I have about 600GB of '60's rock and onward through the 90's' more or less. While frowned upon I can share a link to my music collection. I do have more but I'll need to find out what back up drive the rest is on first.

lossless audio makes a huge difference with the B&W system
