 Great Audio System | |
| I just bought this stereo 2 days ago and I love it, the sound quality is amazing and it's got so much power, I haven't turned it up all the way but even when it's on low it sounds powerful and clear. You can choose between the equalizer settings from clear to heavy depending on what you are listening to. It also has a timer that will wake you up in the morning. Setting up the unit is simple and brainless. The only complaint is that the main unit is rather long from the front to the end and it didn't quite fit snuggly in my bookcase but it still looks good though. Very nice stero with a great contemporary look and it's a great price. | |
 happy in my little room | |
| I read the reviews on amazon before deciding to buy this stereo and I'm happy with my purchase. I moved into a tiny apt and tossed my old Philips component system. I wanted a hassle-free, handsome, good-sounding stereo that would fit on a shelf. That's what I got. I bought mine at a retail store for $150. Consider what you really want to do before you buy this unit. By it's nature as a "mini-system" it has limitations. For example, I bought high bias audiotape before reading the manual. It only works with normal bias tapes. Making a mix tape from CDs is not as simple as I wish it were b/c you have to program a song or songs before you can record. I don't think you can hook up a DVD player to this unit. Under "External unit connections" the manual reads: "Only an analog player with a built-in phono equalizer can be connected." Comparatively, it seems the best blend of sound quality, style and features for the money. It has a cool remote that works quite well. The screen reads, "HELLO" when you turn the unit on and, "GOODBYE" when you turn it off. I listen to rock CDs mostly and they sound good to me in my little apartment. | |

| I spent a lot of time looking for a system suitable for my eclectic tastes and found it in this one. This system provides the budget audiophile with 120 watts of rich sound as suitable for Sepultura as it is for Chopin. For real: go for the higher wattage when selecting a small stereo; it is important even at the lowest volume settings, which becomes even more obvious when you have it cranked up on Friday night. Along with the high-quality speakers, there are a few other things make this stereo a standout. First, the tuner and preset features are both flawless. The unit will detect and assign presets automatically; you can always pick new ones later. Reception is good in either band. Second, the CD changer is of the modern, one-tray-for-one-CD type that is simple in operation and won't interrupt your listening. CD-R playback is no problem. The cassette player is still there, for those who use one | |
