Levinson in Lexus

It is not 'his' sound system. It is by Mark Levinson the company. Mark Levinson no longer works there, he works at Red Rose Music. Lexus used to use Nakamichi, they were good, but this is quite the step up. I guess I need to bitch to BMW to start using Krell or Classe :)

'ML works at Red Rose'....?? He IS Red Rose! Anyway how do they fit a pair of those huge MADRIGAL ML monoblocks into the Lexus..?? Let alone the preamp, on top of the dash? Periscope optional to see over the pre so you can drive safely.

Nhorton: You are correct in stating that ML is no longer with the company. That part of the statement was just a poor choice of words on my part. I agree with your BMW comment. My Z3 Coupe's system always leaves me with a headache.

It's all Haman International anyway. Who cares if they put an H/K or Infinity or Levinson label on it? Look at the "Take Control" remotes...there's one "Madrigal" model and one "Harman/Kardon" model and yet apppear remarkably similar. My guess is that ML will be little more than a label. All this can do is damage ML's reputation. Thank being said, looking for the 31.5 with a "detachable face" would be very interesting! Oooh not to mention if their system does sound great it could lead to a mass mocking of Bose as "hi-fi" on both a home audio and car audio level!

Nobody puts worse audio systems in there cars than Porsche. I have a 911 and the system in it is a travesty. Regards, Mike
