Great All The Way Around!
Greetings, Good Lookers! I trust you all are doing well. I ordered this system, and had it the very next day!! I opened the very sturdy box, thinking I would I would set things up a few days later; but, I could not wait; Everything was well-packed and secure. Then I saw the instructions! YIKES! Nonetheless, I unpacked everything, and saw the instructions. Phew! They looked quite daunting; but, as I started unpacking everything -- I decided to completely ignore these complicated instructions, and just hook things up as I thought they should go...and -- Voila -- it was all hooked up and ready to rock in no time!!!! These instructions are simply a mess; but, I know you all are smart, and can hook this up in no time...I did it, so can you! The tuner and speakers seem sturdy and very well made. As for the sound -- well -- it is AMAZING! -- such powerful sounds coming out of each of these little gems (the speakers)! Clarity is amazing, and range is equally sublime! I heard the highs, the lows, and all the precious mid-range. I was amazed! I could not understand the bad reviews here. Look, I am an attorney; and a former jazz sax player, and I have loved music for all my life, Perhaps we all hear differently -- I do not know. But, I can tell you all, in my opinion these are GREAT little speakers, especially at this price-point. I can hear so many things I just could never hear with my prior speakers -- and those were NOT cheap speakers! I listen to ALL kinds of music: primarily: Classical, Jazz, and Rock-N-Roll. I have the system on my dresser, with about three-feet of separation between the speakers. The sound is phenomenal! And while I am not hip to the scene of all the new devices you kids have today-- like: Bluetooth and MP-3 Players -- I only wanted to hear my music (on CD) as it was recorded. I am very happy that I did NOT listen to the bad reviews here. These are powerful, and very loud speakers! They will fill a room easily with the precious music you want to here -- REALLY HEAR!!!! I am glad I purchased these! Rock on, kids! Dr. Of Style

Nice mini system.
I have had this for several months and no issues, It has a nice tuner and Cd player operated by a decent little remote control. I did upgrade the speakers that came with it, I replaced the Phillips speakers with a small set of Yamaha 2 way bookshelf speakers that really improved the sound quality. This perfect for a small office.

Good product
Good sound feels like good quality wasn’t expecting it to be small for some reason. I thought it was gonna be a lot bigger however for the size it is good.

BT and EQ not 'up to par'
I gave this only 3 stars because the remote was not working properly and I had to return the stereo. Amazon is sending a replacement in a couple days and I'm hoping everything will work properly. As far as the quality of the sound and features... it's great! But the remote was the only issue. After I get the replacement I'll update my review. UPDATED REVIEW: I received my replacement stereo system. The FAVORABLE NEWS: the remote now works properly and responds the way it should. However, I will note that the 'command response time' of the remote on some functions is rather slow... but acceptable. The UN-FAVORABLE NEWS: A) the Blue Tooth volume mode is not calibrated correctly with the other volume modes (such as USB and CD). At first I thought it was completely defective, but then I realized I had to turn the BT volume on my cell phone up ALL THE WAY to send a signal to the stereo. Then, I had to turn the volume up ALL THE WAY on the stereo to get an acceptable volume. In essence, the BT volume mode requires 3 to 4 times the volume setting than the other volume modes on the stereo (CD, USB, Radio, Aux). B).The 'SOUND' function is basically useless. I have been a professional musician all my life (60+ years) and I can tell you that this stereo EQ is useless. The difference is 'barely' noticeable'. With that said, the quality of the sound is acceptable, so I'm not loosing any sleep over this. IN SUMMARY: I'm keeping this rating at 3 because of the BT issue and the SOUND EQ issue. However, the stereo produces satisfactory tone for my needs, and I've decided to keep it (rather than return it for a second time). If I get another bookshelf stereo from a different manufacturer, most likely there will be pros and cons with that too... so I'm not going to waste any more time on finding the 'perfect stereo for the perfect price'. Quite frankly, I don't think they exist! Anyway, I am 'Luke-warm' on recommending this stereo if you're a sound fanatic like me, but for simple applications ... it's fine. FINAL UPDATE: I have down-graded my review to one star. I am doing this because the Vendor is taking too long on my refund to my account. Now it is taking them over a month to issue the refund! VERY unprofessional. I had to call Amazon Customer Service at this point. Amazon was nice enough to refund to my account to my gift card balance. It only took them a couple hours to process this refund for me. Aside from the product issues, the customer service from this vendor is very poor and I would not recommend buying ANYTHING from this company (because if you need to return something for a refund, this vendor will only delay your refund and make up excuses as to why they are so slow).

Decent System for the $$
It's a decent system for my home office. Met my expectations given the price point, good sound quality.

Great speakers
Bought for my brother and he loves it. If you’re a bass head or want your ears to ring with loud music then buy more expensive speakers. If you want something that can be loud when it needs to be then this is a good system for you. Looks good, connects easy, and is a good system. My brother doesn’t turn this thing off and thanks me regularly for buying him it.

Necesitaba un equipo de audio para poder reproducir mis CDs sin usar un reproductor portátil, y esta es una excelente opción. Es bastante compacto, con buena calidad de construcción. La calidad del audio es bastante descente, aunque no esperes un equipo extraordinario. Además de CDs, las funiones de radio, auxiliar y Bluetooth lo hacen muy práctico. Está super para escuchar música en tu cuarto, o para ambientar una habitación no muy grande. El único pero que le encuentro es que el plástico negro brillante muestra mucho las huellas y el polvo, fuera de eso, estoy encantado.

No es un minicomponente pero es de los pocos equipos pequeños y baratos que aun pueden conseguirse para escuchar CDs. Muy bueno. Suena bien es elegante, ocupa poco espacio. Lo recomendamos.

Muy satisfecho con el equipo. Desde la compra y el tiempo de entrega. Es pequeño, practico y con buen sonido, podría ser mejor el sonido pero en el espacio que tengo suena muy bien. Recomendable al 100. Excelente relación precio calidad.
