Lexicon Stereo...Really?

[Remraf]

I think the system sounds great overall and for a stock stereo it's better than 90+% of the competitions offerings. The clarity level is amazing, put a DVD-Audio disc in it, or any High Definition recording and you will truly appreciate how this system was meant to be heard. I do agree in some instances that the bass could stand to be a bit deeper, but what bass it does offer is precise.

If your out for ear piercing volume levels then this is probably not the system for you...but if you enjoy clear, concise music at any listening volume it's hard to beat, and you couldn't come close to it purchasing something aftermarket for the same price. Also if your giving it a score of 8, then it speaks volumes for how well it performs.... I'll take quality of sound over sheer loudness any day.

Just my 2 cents on the subject

My LG smart phone has an audiophile DAC that only comes through the headphone jack so I use that with the phones eq set. When on a piece of music that could use more bass I simply adjust the head units bass. Your mention of the DVD quality making the difference that would be the source as in the DAC giving better sound.
