ML Audio System Front/Rear Balance Question
I have to set the F/R balance on my ML system about 3/4 of the way towards the rear so that the front speakers don't overpower the rears at the drivers seat position. Do you guys have to make this much adjustment or is there something wrong with my amp?

The sweet-spot will vary based on driver height and seat position.
Typical settings are one click to left and two clicks to rear.
As the subwoofer is in the rear... rear/strong is better.

Kind of what I already said... each person will "hear" things differently and need to adjust accordingly.
Plus, stronger does not necessarily equal better with subwoofers. Proper placement and calibration is what determines how the low frequency sounds and it's "loudness" to the listener... plus, personal preference.

Inside an automobile where the subwoofer is in the rear, it is unbalanced... To achieve balance, stronger rear audio is better. Simply because there is little bass in the front.

Fade and balance are personal taste.
Lexus prefers their sound staging in front of you so if you want have more of a surround sound effect you will need to fade back quite a bit. There is nothing wrong with your Mark Levinson. Your system has 90% less distortion than the factory standard. It has a balanced subwoofer not a boom-boom type. It will shake the rear view mirror to a blur on bass heavy selections. Put a DVD with a good soundtrack in and depress the parking brake and you will get some great spatial effects from the five channels. The RC ML has Clari-Fi which is a proprietary decompression technology to restore lost information in Bluetooth, MP3 and Satellite broadcasts. You made a great decision opting for it.
