Summary:
This is one of the best mini hifi systems i've ever seen. I've been using it for almost 3 years now and it still works beautifully. It has enough power for any of the parties you might have at your house or whatnot. The subwoofer, being at only 8 inches holds it's own against other sub's out there.

Strengths:
Subwoofer, Audio imput,V-Groove bass bost.

Weaknesses:
Cable length could be longer,after about notch 25, alothough it goes to 30 it doesnt get any louder.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
this system is awesome! the subs 120 watts is easily enough to make my house shake when turned up nice and loud for some nice r+b, and the dual woofers play my heavy metal really nicely. overall a great system, the best ive seen in a long long time.

Strengths:
big power, great sound, easy to use and great for all types of music and gaming.

Weaknesses:
the inability to manually adjust the bass. all you get is three auto levels which are still great, but not up to the high standard expected of todays mini hi fi systems.

Price Paid:  $150.00 from Courts

Strengths:
Sound, ease of use, ability to turn off the sub-woffer

Weaknesses:
cables too short! Sony wants some ridicilous prices for the extensions!

Price Paid:  $150.00 from Frys electronics

Strengths:
