I was a little skeptical at first when I ordered this, but after reading the reviews and the reasonable price of the unit I thought I would give it a try. I am impressed! It has excellent sound and more than loud enough. I bought it for my wife for her studio and she just loves it! The MP3 and CD sound just incredible. It comes with be an FM and AM antenna and it is decent but for me the highlight gain is the CD / MP3 player.

If you want a unit for good tuner reception I am not sure about this one, but then again I live remotely and maybe it is just bad reception due to where I live. If you want a unit with incredible sound with CD's, this one I recommend!

It is also very easy to setup and use. The nice thing is that you do not need the remote to work it as all the controls are on the top of the unit as well!

It was definitely worth the money.

The little stereo has clear sound for acoustically recorded music.It is great for chamber music and opera. The stereo takes very little space and is quite easy to hook up and operate. It is perfect for the night table, and can even be programmed like an alarm clock, to wake one up with music at a certain time.

I'm very satisfied with this purchase - the price was right and it looks right at home on my desk. The squared off angular design looks sleek and professional, and the compact size of the main unit and the speakers don't overwhelm my small desk. I tried the MP3 feature and it works well - displaying the ID3 tags and the disc name perfectly from my CDRW disc. The biggest drawback to the system is that it doesn't really output enough volume to fill a larger room, if that's what you're buying it for. At higher volume levels, you can literally hear the speakers strain and struggle to maintain clarity and fidelity. At lower volumes, it maintains very good sound quality. The controls on the top of the main unit are replicated on the remote, so you can use either and still maintain full control of the stereo. One note - in the product illustrations, the LED display is blue, but in reality, it has a backlit amber display.
