I too have just purchased the 2009 ES350 and am completely underwhelmed by the stereo system. My 2001 Camry has much better sound.
a1s1a1 has a good point in that I do not want to open the dash to change speakers for fear things will never be the same.
But I have to do something. It’s getting to the point where I do not want to turn on the sound system.
That being said I feel one of the major problems is the quality of the rear speakers. They just do not seem strong enough to fill the car. When I fade to the rear of the Camry the sound still fills the car, when I fade to the rear of the Lexus it becomes a very tinny sound.
So the question is about changing the rear speakers.
Difficult?
Worth it?
What kind of replacement?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am going in for my 1000 miles inspection this weekend and will check with the service specialist and let you know what they say.

I brought my 2009 ES350 to the dealer for the 30K service. (I had about 30.5K miles)
It was expensive, $430 after a service special and supplying my own oil.
What happened though is they did a drive test and found the breaks had a slight shimmy in them and so replaced the rotors and pads for no charge under the warranty. (What looked to be a $550 job)
I could have done it cheaper at my local garage but I doubt they would have replaced the breaks.
So in the end I guess it was worth taking it to the dealer.
