> How do you measure it - just frequency response and power draw?

Same way you measure any other high end consumer good: price

I submit that a better measure of high end audio equipment is weight.

Top end gear is HEAVY.

To be specific, top end gear has heavy torroidal inductors and transformers to keep the current flowing.

Not just that - high end speakers are heavy because of the need to use thick, stiff and dense materials to eliminate resonance.

The noise floor of a car is incredibly high, such that it’s probably not a high quality system, it’s just a loud system.
