Overall a semi-descent pakage. Nice and functional design combined with the latest technology. However it does not excuse a serious lack of mid-range. It seems Sony have spent all their money on the pointless gimikery rather than on the sound quality... Shame.

Nice sound for sucha small Hi-Fi, deep bass, good quality tweeter.

Weaknesses:
The CD loading mechanism is prone to breakage, mid-range is lacking
