Review 1 of 2

Summary:
I agree with the previous review, as it is a very strange wiring system, but very simple.

Strengths:
As i hve a portable minidisc recorder the main reason i bought the system was for the optical out jack on the front. It provides perfect digital recordings every time.
Also the sound quality is astonishing from a small system, crisp bass sharp high end notes, its all good

Weaknesses:
main body looks a bit cheep

Similar Products Used:

Review 2 of 2

Summary:
This system is slightly odd in the way it is wired. Instead of a wire between the main unit and each of the speakers, the mains cable goes straight into the left speaker, where the amplifier is. Also on this speaker there's a power cable to and an audio cable from the main unit, and a pair of terminals for the right speaker. The audio quality is good from such a tiny system, and the minidisc jacks are useful, although you will need an adaptor to connect any other equipment. They're also on the front, which looks a bit strange. I have had no problems with it, and it looks like it cost 2 or 3 times as much as it did. It does have a few bizzare quirks, which is why I give it four stars
