Summary: A GREAT BUY FOR CERTAIN SPACES AND TASTES
Review: Although there are four separate components and plenty of dials, toggles, and buttons, this is not the set for tinkerers who demand control of the sound. There's a button that gives you enhanced bass and a dial that supplies fine tuning of the tweeter, and that's it! Not even the ability to balance the speakers. The flip side of course is simplicity, and simplicity is the name of the game from assembly to operation of these handsome components and speakers. Just link everything together, plug it in, and enjoy impressive sound. Impressive, that is, for everyone but those who want to rattle the walls with amplified rock and loud orchestral compositions. They should look elsewhere. But for those who, like my wife and I, live in snug apartments and whose tastes run to small-group jazz and classical chamber music with emphasis on solo piano, violin, guitar, sax, and trumpet, Technics has put together a terrific audio system. Just squeeze it in wherever there's room and let it fill your space with warm, balanced sound.

Summary: Great System
Review: Eventhough this is made by the same folks that make Panisonic stuff it works great! It has lot of cool stuff, like a blue light that lights up the display, you may want to turn this off or on. On with all the lights off and some jazz playing makes for a great night! Some lowlights are, it only holds one CD so you have to keep getting up and changing the CD when you are done. It has another good feature called CD Text, this will list the songs for you on a screen. You can have it scroll or just view a portion of the title. (Not all CD's have this option) Check this out. GREAT PRICE 2!

Review: With it's cool blue lights, this micro-system really has an incredible look. Even tough it's very small, the sound comes comes loud and clear. You can play your music as loud as you want without a bit of distortion! The only negative point I see would be the cassette player which looks very nice but maybea little cheap and complicated: a door similar to the one of the CD player opens and a little rack pulls out.
