Does the 3rd Gen Mark Levinson sound system sound better than the 4th Gen non-Mark Levinson sound system?

if I were you, I'd bring a CD with songs you're familiar with and try them out in both models...ML and non-ML.
I personally thought the ML sounded cleaner - so I went with that option.

I know ML is better than non-ML, but was wondering about 3rd Gen ML vs. 4th Gen non-ML.

Have both cars and can share my opinion. I think they are both almost the same. However, I feel like the 3rd Gen has better overall balance...hitting the highs nicely with a crisp sound. Bass isn't its strong suit though.
The 4th Gen is a little more "boomy" with a nice thump on the low end with good clarity. I was going to add a JL Audio sub to my 4th Gen GS but decided against it after playing a variety of sources and noticing that the sound was good enough for me.

Most (if not all) of the GS460's also come with Mark Levinson as standard equipment. Here's a rare low mileage, certified one: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...6224/overview/

NP - Any chance you might be looking for that very rare 3GS with a V8? The GS460? If I were going to get a 3GS over a 4GS, that would be the only version of the 3GS i'd get over the 4GS knowing what I now know with gas mileage and overall power as a current 4GS owner.
