Better for cost/quality. Deep and soft bass. Clear and powerful sound. CD component can be better: 4 times oversampling is no good, 8 times sounds better. Cheap tape deck. Very easy to programing, but very "smart" computer that makes decisions without any questions.

I have the new one in my bed room. It's nice looking, nice sound, and nice price with smart operation. It's the best budget mini system you can have.
