Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $450.00 from intechav.com

Summary:
This is by far the best sounding micro system that i've heard out there. I listen to a lot of electronica and dance music and the sound that comes from this little system is amazing in it's clarity and accuracy. The system looks great in a room and coupled w/ a subwoofer is unbelievable. The system is well balanced and even though it's only 15W per channel sounds a lot more powerful and rich. Many systems out there sound like they are just straining themselves when pumping out the sound but this one doesn't. Great buy if u can afford it, but definitely worth it for under $500.

Strengths:
great clarity even at highest volumes, bi-amplified speakers, best audio system out there for under $600, decent bass

Weaknesses:
could use a little more bass but hey it's a microsystem

Review 2 of 3

Summary:
This is a pretty decent product. It looks great, no doubt about it. When people come into my bedroom, they always take notice. Unfortunately, the sound doesn't attract the same attention as the look. It only sound okay. The bass is not very good, and overall the system does not sound rich. I have heard many other less expensive stereos that sound worlds better. It has a number of alarm features, and the lights are very cool at night. This stereo would have been great if Technics had spent more time on the whole reason for the stereo: the sound. In addition, the bass works in a strange way. When you first turn on the stereo, you might notice less bass than when you used it before. After hitting the bass button either up or down it sounds better. This stereo is decent, but not worth the Technics asking price.

Strengths:
This product has a number of great features, including the look, the CD text option (for compatible discs) and a solid remote control.

Weaknesses:
The sound quality is just average. The bass response is below average, and I just don't think it sounds very rich. In addition, if you turn it off and on, it seems the bass goes away slightly. You have to press the bass button in one direction or the other to "awaken" the system. It's strange. I also don't like that only certain CDs work with the text option.

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
