I recently purchased a 2008 LX, I love it, but to my surprise it has a base model, 9 speaker entertainment system. I’ve read all the threads on here raving about the mark levinson system, comparing the ML to the JBL system of the lc200, and reviewed a couple threads on speaker and amp replacement for the ML system. What I haven’t found is much info on the 9 speaker base LX stereo.
Differences I’ve noted:
-the sub isn’t there and in its place I have a nice big cubby for storage.
-there still looks to be locations where the ML system would have had speakers, producing parts is expensive so why produce 2 different pieces when one suffices
-all research leads to retrofitting would be a nightmare
With that said, I’m not an audiophile, but I like my music. Most of my listening will be via wireless carplay with the grom vlite, but I’m curious if any of the experts on here think there are certain speakers worth adding, possibly an amp, maybe a sub with factory brackets? Interested in everyone’s thoughts, I’d imagine things have made decent progress since 2008 when my LX was built.
