Hello W166 owners,
I've had a W212 E350 with HK audio for 3 years (wife's car actually)
I've been driving a lexus LS460 with Mark Levinson Audio until days ago, when I traded it in for a 14 ML350.
The ML has HK audio, but it's no where near the Mark Levinson Audio,
It's not even close to the HK audio in our E350( even my wife with numb ears can tell)
So I am wondering is it just my W166 or they all are not so good?

I enjoy the hk system in my 2017 W166. To me the hk system, at least in newer model W166 vehicles, is "very good".

i have it in my ML as well and i have no complaints, base is great, nice to drive with, as i am an audiophile myself. I, like you, had it in a W212 (2014 e350), you get more bass from the ML because its about 800 watts of power compared to 600W of power. However, to each his/her own

Thanks guys.
I just feel that the sound is not as clear in my ML.
Maybe one of the speakers is blown or the bass is buzzing.

buzzing means 100% the amp/speaker is blown..
