from Hypeaudio.com Summary:
*******This is a review for DM30, which does have the pause for the CD.*********** ;-)
The sound of this system is quite good for the money. However, you do need to work on the speakers placement to achieve the best sound, but that is expected for the system that has to descent speakers.
I did some shopping around, and looked at primarily at two brands: Yamaha and Dennon. I have a Yamaha receiver for my HT and I love it, so I wanted to stay with Yamaha brand; however, I liked the Dennon sound better than that from Yamaha Pianocraft. Possibly because of the speakers. But the only people who don't need to worry about positioning of speakers for stereo, are the once who've already done that and the once who've purchased the Bose Wave radio. The former once had spent some time, the later once overpaid $399. (Sorry, I had to do that! ;-)).
The unit itself is pretty heavy for its size (don't know the exact weight, but it is in the manual) and so are the speakers. There are few sets of inputs on the back to hook up other sources. Good bonus.
The unit did come with all of the wires and antenna in the box. Setting it up was easy, I did not need the manual which I browsed through looking for some unusual caution notes. I cannot comment on the quality of the manual, because I have not really read it, since I've not used any of the advanced features (Alarm/timer for example).
Overall, I am pleased with the purchase. If anyone is thinking on above average clock/alarm stereo combination, I would greately advice this system. I use it in the bedroom, and it seems to workout quite well.
Strengths:
Good sound, seems to be well built, cheap but still Mission speakers. Weaknesses:
No dimmer for the screen. I would also like the capability of having the clock displayed all the time after it turns off, without the need for the extra buttons pressed. Similar Products Used:
