I recently bought a Lexus LX470 with the Nav/Levinson system. Most of the cost of the system is in the superb Nav system. The Levinson portion is only about 30% of the cost. This is the first car I have owned in years that has a sound system and equalization package good enough to satisfy my picky ears and tastes. Not perfect, but far better than any other mfg offers. A SUV is a very difficult environment. Like a box with large areas of reflective glass. I heard the Toyota Land Cruiser sound system and it has problems and mediocre sound quality. I understand the equalization of Lexus sound systems was done by Madrigal. By the way, You can also watch DVD's with good sound on Nav system when the vehicle is not moving. However, I don't like the ASL mode because it boosts the bass level out of proportion when the cars speed is high.
Mark levinson audio system in Lexus?
I saw an add on TV this morning for a Lexus, model escaped me, that claims it has a Mark Levinson audio system in it. Can anyone that has heard the 'system' give us some impressions?
Our cars both have the factory system in it, it does fine by me in the noisy car environment where I never do any critical listening anyway. I am very curious whether the ML system actually adds something?
