Great article, thanks!

That should finally settle all the arguments about which system is better: the S8's B & O or the LS Mark Levinson.

We now have a comprehensive comparison and ML > B & O.

At this point, there isn't much argument that the LS ML system is the best factory audio system ever in a vehicle.

According to the article the ML pressers indicate that the LS 460 ML system is equivalent to a $200,000 system.

I wonder if they trickle down, for instance the previous gen LS 430 system, already top-rated, goes into the GS. Well the ES 350 system has 14 speakers, 3 more than the LS 430 did.
