from Practical Hi-Fi UK Summary: This is a fantastic little machine. I've had my CP11 for just over a year now and have been entirely satisfied. There's been criticism on these pages of the lack of tonal control. I understand that the CP1 has nothing more than the DSG on/off option. That would be a MAJOR downside. However, the CP11s dead simple Bass & Treble controls offer enough contol to get the sound you want. On most recordings the DSG on and the Bass & Treble turned right down gives a lovely, balanced sound. The mid range is always going to lack a bit of detail at this price, but that's being pedantic. Of all the stuff I listen to, it's only some of the techno/house that doesn't sound so great. Anything else, from Miles Davis and Ella through to Crazy Horse and Led Zep, this sounds great. I play mine through some Kef Cresta 1s which are superb, but that's another story. The supplied speakers are decent enough though -and they look great with the covers off. Strengths: Value for money, Sound Quality, Aesthetics Weaknesses: At this price !!?? - None Similar Products Used: (Antiquated) Aiwa & Pioneer Midi Systems
