I can't comment on the Levinson Lexus, but the standard stereo in our Lexus RX330, beat the Bose in our Rainier. Prior to the Rainier we had an Envoy, with a standard stereo, and it was essentially unlistenable -- horrible midrange!
The big difference between the standard Envoy and Bose Rainier vs the standard Lexus, is a much better midrange in the Lexus.
Prior to the Lexus, I equated auto sound to background/elevator music -- I could take it or leave it. With the Lexus, at times, I find myself actually focusing on the sonics. That's a first for me, and over the years, we've had over thirty new vehicles.
