Definitely Disappointed
I have ave the same issue. Front biased and seems speakers on the door are non-existent. I’ve tried everything to make it sound better. I had a MDX prior. Stereo was great as well as several other things that I miss. I can say that the BT input on the Lexus is good. I typically did not use BT on the MDX because the dynamic range was noticeably worse compared to the wired input. At least that is one +.
It it is VERY aggravating when my son who drives a Mazda repeatedly tells me his stereo is better and is right!
WHY??? So disappointing.

So I finally have my RX 450h Luxury.
I am kind of disappointed by ML sound system. When set to default location schema (enabled surround, middle from both directions) I can hear music mostly from front like it were no surround. When I move it to cca 65 % to back it sound better, but still it sounds like there is no sound from left or right.
Do you have the same experience?

I agree with the front bias issue - adjusting the balance levels one or two notches to the back has helped make it sound more surround but you will have to turn the volume up more to get the same loudness. Not a perfect solution but an improvement in my mind.

That's the ML staging effect. They do too good of a job to make the sound appear to come from the front. You can turn that off in the Sound Settings by turning off Surround. I just adjusted the balance a little to the back to make it sound more surround than just coming from the front.

I think that the ML system sounds great, more volume would be nice sometimes but this system is about quality not quantity.

2020 Rear passenger low volume (Odd sounds)
Hello!
I recently got a 2020 RX with the Mark Levinson system and have a couple of question for everyone that knows the system better.
The rear passenger speaker is quite low with surround sound on or off, tried both setting and the small speaker (the tiny speakers on the upper door, not at the feet area) sounds really quiet.
Is it just me or does surround sound off sound better than surround sound on? Some of the music sounds muted with the surround sound on.
Thank you.
