2024 Lexus LC 500 Convertible – Mark Levinson Reference 13-speaker Sound System Review
Lexus is modernizing its excellent LC 500 coupe and convertible with new touchscreen infotainment for 2024. There aren't any official changes to the Mark Levinson audio system, but we can't help but feel like there's a subtle step down from previous years.

2025 Acura MDX Type S - Bang & Olufsen Ultra 31-speaker Sound System Review
Переглядів 14 тис.День тому
The Acura MDX is refreshed for 2025 and features an all-new 31-speaker audio system tuned by Bang & Olufsen. We don't think it's quite as good as the MDX's ELS Studio Signature system, but it's hard to say for sure without testing back-to-back.

    In Canada as far as I can tell the ML is only available in the top two trims approx 15000 dollars above the starting price so the quality of the base system is important, as amazing as ML is 15k is a big jump in price.

    Your D rank and comments about the Stellantis HK system matches my experience with the system in the 2018 Giulia i used to have. It wasn't awful, but it never felt particularly powerful enough or crisp enough to really be wowing. It definitely didn't sound as good as my G37 bose with an upgraded head unit or the HK systems in some other cars I've driven.

  • @nobody9773

    Just wondering which system you liked better - Harman Kardon 8 speaker system in Kia Sportage, or Bose 8 speaker system in Hyundai Tucson. Looking at both vehicles, not much difference, so the sound may be the final decider...
