from Hifi Corner Summary:
The TEAC 300 is not be be confused with many small hifi systems. Although the size is half of a standard hifi's, it belies the sound quality. With appropriate speakers (I use Mission 71Ie - bought seperately) which do need quite a long time to run in, the systems sounds full of detail, rich and smooth. The soundstage really makes you think the system is much larger and expensive. Although the power output make seem small, it compensates in pure quality of the delivery. Treble and mid-range are truly excellent with all types of music, with bass being adequate though some people may now prefer some more low down power. Bass is a very personal issue and I do not like bass that impedes or even blocks out other frequencies. The music produced is not forced and remains pure, even at high volumes.
The system looks great, although that is more of a bonus that anything else. The quality of the hifi is also brilliant and the weight of each unit shames many larger systems.
I did find (as with all good hifi systems) that good interconnects and speaker cable make a huge difference.
I do not think that for the money you can buy a better made, better sounding system. If you like quality over quantity (like flashing lights and booming bass) you cannot go wrong. Look around for a good deal on the price and the TEAC 300 will not disappoint. Strengths:
Sound quality, pure and rich. Build quality is excellent. Weaknesses:
No real bi-wiring possible. Similar Products Used:
Tried Technics, Denon, Kenwood, ... none come close to sounding as good as the TEAC.
