How is the non BW sound system on the XC90?

Anyone know how different is the HK Premium and Base System? I read somewhere the Base System is also made by HK. Is mainly 4 more speakers? Sorry I know this comes across as really dumb question. Volvo really does not provide much detail on the base audio system.
Notes From 2019 Brochure:
Base System:
High Performance audio system (330W,10 speakers)
HK Premium Sound
Harman Kardon® Premium Sound is developed together with the hi-fi specialists at Harman Kardon®. Powered by a 600W digital amplifier, the 14 speakers are tailored to the acoustics inside your Volvo and deliver a powerful, high fidelity surround sound experience. A unique sound processing software - Dirac® Unison Tuning - optimizes the response of each individual speaker as well as the speakers all together to ensure they perform in perfect harmony. So wherever you're seated, you and your passengers can enjoy a seamless first-class listening experience in all conditions and - not least - an extremely unified and tight bass sound.

Purchased my wife a 2019 Inscription about 3 months ago with the HK system. I am VERY impressed with the sound quality. Compared to the stock Bose system on my Audi a8 and the HK blows it away.
Last week I had a Q5 loaner with the Bang and Olufsen upgrade and it did not sound as good as the HK. For a stock on the upper XC90, or for $700 in a Momentum, I think it is an amazing system for the cost.
