Very much into car audio choices. Hands down winner so far is the Mark Levinson stereo available in some Lexus Models. The surround speakers wrap around your ears like a security blanket. Pure delight.
I also listened to the Harmon Kardon system in the Mercedes. That was acceptable but a solid second. The very quiet ride was delightful. Lastly, the Toyota/JBL system was not worthy of serious consideration, especially when you consider you have to buy the most expensive model loaded with options you may or may not need. All three used the Bluetooth connection, which I’m not a big fan of, but I didn’t have a usb cable with me. Still to hear the Burmester system in the newer Mercedes. I’ve done the aftermarket upgrade and it’s a slippery slope and considering you’re going to have to convince a buyer to take it and pay for it, finding a car with an OEM system makes better sense.
