Summary: An Excellent Buy
Review: Anyone who wants a high-quality CD player, tape player, and AM/FM radio for a very reasonable price should seriously consider buying this model. It includes speakers, all necessary cords, a remote control, and a guarantee. The sound can only be described as splendid and on top of everything else the machine has a very handsome appearance!

Summary: CORRECTION TO MY EARLIER REVIEW
Review: Excellent bookshelf stereo. Remote Control DOES work the radio tuner. Being a simple minded 'blue collar' guy, I couldn't figure it at first [the first 3 hours after I opened it, then wrote my review the next day, before double checking it]... ANYWAY, it's a great little unit. Buy it, whenever it's back in stock. Oh and the Amazon.com folks got it to me packed extremely well and in only 4 days!

Summary: Pretty Good for the price
Review: Got this for Christmas a few days ago. We're using it in our den. Good bookshelf stereo. Sound is really good. Convenient to use for a family with limited stereo 'Know-how.' We like it because the CD door opens easily in limited space. We like the tuner too. Cassette operation is easy and it makes great tapes off of the CD. Be sure to get higher quality blank tapes though. Remote control only operates the CD, hince 4 star rating, but what can you expect for only eighty bucks. We listen to a WIDE variety of music on it and it all sounds good, listening to Cranberries right now, swing, bluegrass, celtic, reggae, blues and of course rock-n-roll sound good on this system, but surprisingly the speakers give good high, mid and low range sounds with classical as well. Good choice for limited budget.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Quality at a Great Price
Review: I bought an older version of the Koss CD system several years ago and paid more for it. This system has been updated and improved aesthetically plus they have added a digital tuner and remote; furthermore, anyone familiar with Koss knows they build quality systems. You cannot do any better in the sound department so unless you are willing to spend big bucks on your system this product is the way to go. The Koss CD system will not disappoint you!

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I bought this stereo based on the customer reviews and of course the low price. I returned it. The CD player worked for only a few hours before conking out. The digital tuner did not tune stations as well as I can with my other, non-digital radios. But most of all I was disappointed with the sound quality. It was very poor in my opinion and sounded like I was listening to it in the bathroom.

Summary: Just so so
Review: I don't really understand why so many people rated it with 5 stars? It's not worth it. The sound is poor, espacially the bass. I don't like it at all.
