from Best Buy Summary:
I bought this unit as as open box item. I really haven't had any major problems in the 7 years I have had it. Once in a while it won't switch to the CD that I want to listen to. I usually turn it off for a minute or so and this seems to resolve the issue. The only other thing is the CD drawer sometimes needs to be coaxed to open, but only rarely. Haven't had any tracking or dimming display problems as of yet. Right now, it serves me in my basement while working out or on freelance projects. I have to admit, at a quarter of the way up, it sounds pretty darn good. If you go much louder than that, the speakers tend to distort. I'm sure that has as much to do with the quality of the amps as the speakers.The speakers by themselves do an excellent job producing bass. The one thing I've noticed, is that the T-Bass tends to distort and muddy the bass when the volume gets louder, while the same can be said of the BBE feature regarding treble. I recently hooked it up to a small T.V. with my old DVD player, and it does a very acceptable job, with decent impact and intelligible voice reproduction. This product is a decidedly mid-fi system, and based on that, I don't have any complaints at all. Strengths:
Big sound, haven't heard many since that can compare.
EQ, DSP, BBE T-Bass
Speakers look pretty cool with grills off, and seem to be constructed rather well for this type of system
Remote controls all the functions, with very good range. Weaknesses:
CD player sometimes won't change to selected CD
CD drawer sometimes refuses to open Similar Products Used:
Sons AIWA, sounds good as well for price (3 years ago)$149 with built in subs.
