2021 Lexus RX - Mark Levinson 15-speaker Sound System Review | Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Mark Levinson radios are always strong, but the RX's 15-speaker system is one of the best we've experienced. It doesn't utilize a ton of speakers or fancy sound modes but instead relies on great tuning, placement, and quality to make for a great listening experience. If the RX were a bit quieter on the highway, it would be that much better, but altogether, this is a top system.

    Great job highlighting the magnificence of the ML sound system in the RX350. My all-time favorite sound systems beginning with my favorite: 1. 2017 RX350 Luxury edition Mark Levinson sound. 2. 2006 Chrysler Pacifica Limited with Infinity sound system (yep, it;s freakin' fabulous!). 3. 2021 Mercedes E53 AMG with the $4500. upgraded Burmester sound system. Ironically, I have all 3 of these vehicles at the same time...yes, I like to rock while rolling!

    We have a 2010 RX w the base audio. The base audio itself is ok. But since I listen to music at a quiet level, the quiet interior at speed blends well w the base audio, resulting in a better than average listening experience. I’ve been in cars w fancier upgraded audio systems. But they sometime get droned out by the noisy interiors. Now I’m interested in hearing the upgraded ML system. Especially if you rated it a 9.5!

    I just test drive one a few days ago because they had a really good deal on a lease with $3k off MSRP.. took it for a spin and only went about a half a mile, looked at the sales guy and I said.. NOPE! Drove it back to the dealership and left.. Lexus really messed it up with the turbo four cylinder.. it feels very under powered rough / unrefined and buzzy. Thought you’d like to know.

    from personal experience, the mark Levinson is much more immersive compared to the 12 system if you're sitting in the back seats as passenger. the 12 speaker system is quite similar but you hear everything in the front if you're the rear passenger. other than that, if you're the driver, it feels the same. Mark Levinson is more crisp in terms of bass and highs if you were to blast it. the 12 speaker starts to lower the bass to accommodate the highs when you reach a certain volume due to power constraints.
