Default Mark Levinson
Is the Mark Levinson in the IS that much better than the standard audio system? Wanted to know from the people who have heard them both.

Thanks

Listened to stock non-ML when I test drove the car. Decent, but not ML! Others have chimed in:

ML is significantly better and absolutely worth it.

Stock system's sound using radio sucks *****. Using Bluetooth/cable the stock system sounds pretty damn good. If you're not in the Northeast and can get ML get it. If not, it's not the end of the world.

definitely worth it! it will handle bass better without distorting so easily and there are more speakers matched to the frequencies they are supposed to play
