Review 1 of 1 , from Ottawa

Price Paid:  $350.00 from FutureShop

Summary:
Hey, for 350 bucks, this demo came without a remote but still blew me away. I wanted a new reciever to replace my 30 year old Sony (still works but way too old). I needed something that still could take a phono input. I didnt want to spend too much money but just about all the others started at 700 bucks. I bought this, and was really astounded: TXH, Dolby, prologic, record player, 100w - really nice. The remote was 200 bucks to replace - someone stole it from the store *I hope they're happy*. Good stuff I'd say

Strengths:
Sleek, well made, clear, lots '0 options

Weaknesses:
without a remote can only do minimal things to set it up.

Similar Products Used:
my old Sony from 1972. It has discreet components and point to point wiring. Yes, I do think it has a few transistors, but no tubes!
