New member Username: VivekamaPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-05 | Can anyone suggest a nice micro system in the range $150-$200? 1. Reliable with nice clarity. 2. I want it to be compact 3. Don't need great bass but no distortion/resonance problems. 4. Should play CD/CD-R/MP3 5. Maybe a good radio capability OR would this be better? Buying a Mp3-CD player and hook it up to a PC speaker system like Klipsch? Thank you very very much in advance. |

Sherwood 4103 am/fm receiver, $90 2. Toshiba 3960 DVD/CD player, $50 3. Polk R15 speakers, $100 And for an extra $60 you can substitute an Onkyo 502 receiver which will give you surround capability and a subwoofer preout for future upgrading. The only reason to buy a mini or microsystem IMO is if you are REALLY short on cash and/or space. |
