I have it in my bedroom and the bass is terrific. I also added for other speakers to amp which makes six and it sounds good in all of them.

I have to have a separate radio to hook up my aux cord to it.

it is the best out there , best bass , i like the meter it has on it very kick ass it goes through alot of speakers though , great sound shocks the hell out of me

My younger brother has one of these and here are my thoughts. I have tested it thoroughly.

As most mini systems it puts out way too much mid-bass It bass a huge hump around 200-300 hz's.
It can't do real bass at all. When you try to have it play low stuff it just doesn't play it or distorts

Overall i think it's a waste of money The midbass is way too loud and it distorts a lot. The midbass also sounds very fake and over EQed. It can't produce bass and it the highs are anything, but crystal clear.
I put in many of my favorite cd's and it butchered them. One of my favorite songs has a very clear high soprano voice and this system added a midbass white noise to the voice which sounded awful. Number one you want something that is Eqed flat and that can hit bass notes.

You would be better of buying a pair of active studio monitors. For $40 dollars more you could buy the wharfdale active diamond 8.1's which does sound worlds better, because it doesn't have that loud annoying mid bass.

MAazing Sound System. Never had a better stereo! Sounds Great and Look cool too

Stengths: Amazing Sound and Volume with the MAX button, aux input, 3-cd player

Weaknesses: NONE!

This product is excellent. Wonderful and powerful sound from a $200 stereo system. However, Out of nowhwere the cd player quit working. I would love to get it serviced or find a dealer that stocks replacement parts.

Bass, power to back it up. High treble, lots of sound/equilizer settings. Dozens of settings. Quiet changer operation, still. Best deal out there, at least 2 years ago, when it first came out. Deserves 11 value stars

looks perhaps, but they grow on you

Way to go Philips! About time someone got it right. I've been meaning to write a review on this system for a couple years now, but even after 2 years of extreme abuse when no one is in the house, this has held up great. The sound is the most accurate I have heard from anything short of a component system. Far superior to any other little Hi-Fi out there. The sound is crystal clear, but yet has enough bass to shake the walls of my house, and the power to back it up. Usually you will find a system that will put out lots of bump, but as soon as you turn it up, it's all over. The volume goes to 40 on it, and with full bass boost on and at 35, it will crank even techno without a hiccup. Oh yea, one of the nicest features of this you will use once is when you first plug it in, it will find all available radio stations automatically. Great if the power goes out, even though it has been out here for up to 8 hours, and all I have lost is the time. When I bought this I was all about Aiwa, but Philips showed me what's up. Philip's all the way! :)

great sound, ghetto fabulous look (maybe a minus if you very conservitive), simple controls.

probably that Phillips used the display from the fwc-722 or something. They coulda taken out the woox display slot and put so,mething of use there.

great sytem. All you ever need for everyday listening. superb bass, great mid range, no distortion yet (which is awesome when ya listen to groups like weezer with loud bass and overlapping guuitar parts.).

Lots of options, great sound quality and more than enough base for the average enthusiasts. (Love the colors)

A little large, but what can you expect.

This mini system is on of the best I've seen as far as sound quality goes. I've been nothing but pleased with it ever since I've gotten it. All in all if you're looking for an inexpensive sytem that has what you want, this is it.

Grat sound and bass, so good its hard to remember how much power it has

You can sumtimes hear air blowing because so much bass is cuming out of the bass tube

I love music and Im always using my stereo. I have had other stereos befoure because I turn the volume up too much and I blow my speakers.Oooops my bad. But I have had this one for over a year and it gets way louder than other stereo Ive had including one i had that was $300 !!! It has grat bass, and sound. I turn it up all the time and my speakers are still just like they where when I got them. I recomend this stereo to anybody!!!!!!!

$450 philips suround sound system

I tested out about 10 different mini systems with a $150 to $700 price range on the day that I bought this product, and this one had the best overall sound. The other ones either sounded too muffled (i.e. weak mid/high range), or didn''t have enough bass for my taste.

It''s appearance could be worked on. I don''t like the orange colored bass reflex port. It should be silver or something...

This is a really good system. It has a good sound spectrum with the ability to pump out all the bass that a mini-system can produce, comes with lots of features, and is very well priced.
