I love classical music and have used this system for almost 25 years without complaints. My chief qualification in support of it is quite the contrary of what other users are doing: conscious of unwelcome noise in an apartment setting, I looked for a stereo that would still deliver nuances and definition at the lowest settings. But if my neighbors push my buttons, all I need it to put one of my favorite bagpipe bands on and crank it to the max. It silences them in seconds! also, with a large collection of vinyls, I plugged in a good record player, and now I span two centuries: records, cassettes, CDs and radio!

It’s so ugly... I am looking for an armoire that would contain it....

Sound quality BASS!!! VOLUME!!! Sound settings 5 disc CD changer The list goes on...

The remote is pretty pathetic as you can't adjust many of the sound settings with it. It's probably the ugliest hi-fi I've ever seen. It can go s loud I'll be deaf in a few years. I'm worried about what the bass is doing to the foundations of my house.

For the price I paid I couldn't have got another system half this good. I am very pleased with this product and stunned at just how much I have enjoyed using it. Even after having used it for over a year it still continues to amaze me. The bass is absolutely superb- when the volume goes past 15 (maximum is 30), walls, windows and fixtures start to vibrate because of the sheer power. It sounds good with lots of different music as well- I'm into dance, rock, hip-hop and R and B and everything I thow at it sounds superb. It's impressive with movies too especially things like Die Hard. Overall I couldn't be much happier with this system especially considering the price I paid. I'm amazed.

I think it might be damaging the foundations of the house. And is definately damaging my ears.

This system is amazing!!! I wanted a system that had bags of bass and went very, very loud to replace my pathetic old one, a JVC XD551, and that is exactly what i got with this. For the price, it is probably the best system I''ve heard. To give an example of how powerful the bass is, when the volume is cranked up on a track like So Solid Crew''s 21 Seconds, my window pane rattles, my door and door frame vibrate, something else vibrates in the walls and the banister shakes. It can also be heard loud and clear outside at the end of my drive. It is stunning! As for the rest of the sound, that aint bad either, and it is not overpowered by the superwoofers. DVDS sound incredible through it as well, particularly a movie like the Fast and the Furious. One of the most unbelievable things is that i picked it up for 230 quid, and i can honestly say its one of the best £230 i''ve spent.
