Mark Levinson amp replacement

[billjamin]

Been seeing some smoke from the GX guys that Lexus and ML are releasing a redesigned amp to solve complaints. I heard they did the same for the TX. Wondering if we might get something similar for the LX if we complain enough.

Honestly I kinda like the LX system. For classical and folk music at least, which is mostly what I listen to. I'm not an audiophile though so maybe I just haven't heard any better.

I don’t have especially large feelings about it. I think it could use some more bass but could easily live without it. It’s light years better than my 17 GX. But the only thing I like more than upgrades are free upgrades.

My gx ML system blows the lx700h system out of the water not even joking. The bass in the lx is just pathetic. My viewpoint is opposite of the one above but verified also my family and all our lexi have the ml system. I have a 2014 gx. What toyota did was obviously cost cutting. Im sure the speakers and the amp are no where near as robust as older systems.

Not sure how you guys have it tuned or if you've got ears that don't work, but I've had to tune down the bass just to hear the rest of the music. Of course it depends on the type and recording quality, but on a rap piece unless all you want to hear is bass, I've got it at about 70% bass, and it's more than enough.

I agree, I think the bass is plenty throughout all my music selections, sometime too much and mine isn’t much passed halfway.

May this would be a good thread to post our EQ settings, so everyone can try it? I remeber switching between 2D and 3D sound. I forgot where i landed.

Bass could be cranked up to high in lx and would not match the gx in lowest bass setting just for comparison. Check out the older gx460 luxury packages if u can find one and u will see. I can't imagine how good the lx570 must of been .

Lexus owe it to us. They should atleast give us a heavily discounted updated amp and subwoofer. My 2020 LC Heritage's JBL has way better sound than this Mark Levinson on my LX it was topping my option list for the LX... TRULLY DISAPPOINTED

So all gx460 luxury editons with ml have a 330 watt amp and the 2022 im getting has same deep bass and sounds great. What wattage amp does lx700 use?.

I have a ‘24 Lexus 600 and have had a few issues, one of which is the damn ML amp. It keeps cutting out when the music is turned up which is complete BS. Lexus has admitted to the issue but can’t fix it. Called Lexus directly, filed a complaint and they came out and looked at the truck. We’ll see what they come back to me with but I’m not expecting it to be great.

All this coming from a guy who has owned over 20 Toyota’s, none of which I’ve ever had an issue with - until this one. Not happy.

Put the gx460 amp in lx600?
About to get my 3rd gx460 luxury edition.
Also not too happy with lx700h build quality..
