Hi there, unfortunately i can't comment on the stock radio as I have the upgraded stereo. I will say that the 440 watt 7.1 surround system rocks. It sounds better than my home theater system!

the stock isnt bad by any means, however, i would definitly go with the tech package, you get more. and yeah, the surround sound is great

I have an 08 LR2HSE and the stereo flat out rocks. Kudos to LR/Alpine. Its not as powerful as the Harmon/Kardon system in my LR3 but very very close. Built in SIRIUS Sat Radio and Bluetooth work awesome too.

I just bought a 2008 LR2 HSE and am crazy about my new vehicle.
I am not crazy about my sound system. Great as it is, I have heard better.

2009 LR2-HSE owner here. I'm quite satisfied with the sound system. I'm not an audiophile but it suits my needs and then some.

I have a 2008 LR2 HSE with just the stock stereo and HATE and REGRET not getting the teck package! I can not stand the quality in the stock stereo. I have a loaner while mine is in the shop and it has the teck package and I am now totally disappointed. I have never liked the quality in the stock stereo though. I say go for it and get the package.

I have a 2008 LR2 HSE, and it has every package except for the navi, now I'm not sure if the "teck" being mentioned in this thread is the navigation that includes the boosted sound system, but the stock stereo in my car is great, the speakers are very loud, and stay extremely clear at high volumes, I just installed two very powerful alpine subwoofers in my car, and the speakers keep up with them!
