Excellent sound quality from a little box! I have ours hooked up to audiophile Rogers LS3/5 speakers, and they sound as good as they do with a more 'sophisticated' amplifier. Decent radio reception, with reliable CD and tape players. Can't fault it-we have a version of this system in 4 rooms in the house and they have all proved 100% reliable even after more than a decade of use. Apparently the power supplies can prove faulty over time, but they can be had second-hand for so little , why spend on expensive repairs?

None at all, especially for this money.

Great sound, limited tunning memory, good speakers.

My cmt-cp11 has been going strong for over 13 years now. The sound quality is surprisingly good for such a small system. The only reliability problem I've had is that the tape deck has a short and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't-not that I really use cassettes thtat much anymore anyways. Unfortunately SONY discontinued production of this unit and they are no longer available. I've been snooping around lately-considering replacing the unit figuring that something this old may not last too much longer and units of comparable quality run over $550 in 2009 dollars.

Good looks, nice quality of sound, allows to connect your video for sound improvement

Reliability of transformer, Cost of repairs

Excellent sound, unfortunately it broke down after two years. According to the technician with no aparent reason the transformer "opened" and fixing it costs £110.
