He hears music coming from the speaker - is that normal?

You are correct, it was designed to operate that way. It is still not comparable to the sound system in the 2016-2018 ES350. I think it is a poor design but that is just my opinion.

A lot of people feel that way, but it's definitely a personal preference rather than a design flaw. I love how it sounds I actually haven't heard a Lexus that doesn't sound like that. My '13 GS, '16 RX, '18 LS, and '19 ES all have a front sound stage and limited rear fill. They were/are all ML systems though.

For those who are not happy with the front biased sound of the ML system, blame George Lucas and his THX sound standards. Compared to monaural or stereo, THX sound standards add a dimension to audio reproduction. The ML system is beyond monaural, stereo, or enhanced quadraphonic. The ML system may or may not be THX certified, but the system is designed to meet this audio standard.
As a followup up to my prior critique of the sound reproduction of the speakers themselves, I am now more positive. I downloaded my CD collection in a non compressed format to a flash drive. The sound is both brighter and with better base response compared to the ML CD player.
