Summary:
I have a bigger system in my living room (SONY receiver & CD player, Mission 700 front speakers, HECO central and surround speakers, Senate active sub,...) and I needed a small CD-tuner system for bedroom. I was cruising at all local HiFi equipment dealers in search for a perfect small system(JVC, SONY, Panasonic, Kenwood,....). Finaly I was lucky to notice this beautifoul and stylish micro system on some bottom shelve in nearby store. I was carrying 2 CD's with me for test purposes - Eros Ramazzoti and Dream House compilation. I pushed "play" button, and... WOW!!!!! What a sound from this micro system!!! Clarity of sound is really amazing for this size. After 30 minutes it was in my flat. Sound is even better than in store (of course), and when i connected my active sub --- DREAM!!! I'm 100% sattisfied!

Powerfull and clear sound. Beautifoul design. Audio inputs and outputs chinch connectors, also "digital" output. Predefined sound control (jazz, classic, rock, pop). Incredible surround (better sound if OFF).
