Review 2 of 10 Summary:
Not actually owned by me, but it resides in the room with the computer in it, so i get plenty of use from it.
Cd player is indeed slow to change, and very picky about what it will and wont play. actual quality of noise is acceptable, when run through headphones.
Amplifier is clearly designed to be running the integrated subs constantly, as if you turn them off, and turn the volume up, treble clipping occurs like crazy. it certainly doesn't deliver 280 watts a channel.
Tape deck is poor at recording, single record only, no tape loops, only one auxiliary in, no axiliary out, or optical out.
the speakers.
hmm.
the integrated subs are a stupid idea. firstly, even with the subs supposedly off, they still run, giving you a non "clean" sound, which is rubbish, consider its supposed to be a "high fidelity mini-system". second, they only seem to be able to produce one (incessantly annoying) bass note. the one that makes stuff shake in essence.
The onboard signal proscessing is pointless, the surround effects don't work (duh) and totally distort the sound.
Basically, if you give a stuff about your music, don't buy it. at the £280 price tag, you could buy some second hand seperates and have a better sounding system. much better. oh, but sorry, there'd be less blinking lights. and metal coloured plastic.
if you're out to impress your mates with some phat bass, this is pretty good. also good for playing things like first person shooters. not good for real music. Strengths:
Flat topped speakers make for conveniet caffeine based beverage holders. Weaknesses:
everything else
