When i first saw this baby... I fell in love. It (in my opinion) is one of the best lookin mini systems out there on the market. But what's the point of having a good looking system without good sound right? You'll be very happy to know that this system delivers both at a great price well worth the quality. To start off, the sound is awesome and the built in subwoofer is very rich. The reception of this baby is very high quality (of course depending on the are you live) but I've gotten better reception out of this baby than any other system I've had. And Panasonic is a very good company, they have always pleased me with their merchandise. To sum it up: the sound is perfect. The bass is deep and rich at high volumes to give you that house rumbling sensation. The best sound I've heard coming from a mini system of this price range. I'd say the best for your money. This is a winner if I ever saw one!!!!

What an excellent system. First of all it looks great. Very easy to set up. It's the first mini-system I've owned and what a sound! The only negative is there's so many different ways to adjust the sound quality you're not sure which one to use. I would have to say it could be adjusted to anyones taste. Definitely a great sounding unit and fun to use!

I recently bought one of these stereos and I must say I'm very happy with it. The sound is really clear and the bass is really strong, just as advertized. Sometimes it can even be too much, so turning the s. woofer to "mid" is better. Even at a high volume the sound is still quite clear. There are plenty of preset configurations for the EQ and there's still the manual option, for those like me who sometimes don't like the preset settings. However, the system is not perfect. :) As mentioned before, it takes a while to open/switch CD's and there's no way to know if a tray already has a CD or not. If there's only one tray empty, but you don't know which, it can take a while to find which that empty tray. It's one of those things you "can live with," however. It's a great stereo and it's worth its value.

This stereo makes a strange chipping sound on certain cd's of mine that play just fine in my car cd player and my portable cd player. It also overheats real fast. But it does have exceptable sound and bass as long as you don't like turning your music up, and who doesn't.

This system is great. A complex system that is easy to master. Great sound! What more could you want?
