5.0 out of 5 stars Monster in a box, June 7, 2008

This review is from: Sony LBTZUX9 Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System 1000W RMS Total Power (Silver) (Electronics)

I took time to go to several stores to try different systems. With each system no matter how innovative or divers the system with the latest capabilities, the only thing that made any difference that was noticeable in the store was the number of watts to the speaker. I tried positions and that was pretty much negligible. So now my mission was to find a mini-stereo that would be a shelf system to replace my poor old 25 year old system that finally bit the dust.

I actually tried the Sony LBTZX9 Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System and found it pretty good. Then I spotted on line the Sony LBTZUX9 Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System. 1000 watts meant 250 watts per-speaker. I do not want rock sounds that will breing every fire engine for the surrounding neighborhood. I did not want a system that you have to ware sunscreen to listen to Prokofiev on a cool evening while reading. So I took a chance and ordered this monster. I was aware that it came in a shipping box that would require a team to deliver; how ever I thought it was just well packed. Expecting a mini-stereo, a shelf system I did not expect just one speaker to be larger than the whole of my older stereo system. Naturally I realize that this animal was never going to fit on a shelf (book shelf) as it has twice the depth and would tip out. The tape-to-tape system opens up on the top instead of the front which again makes it impossible to place on a book self. I am also starting to question the term "Mini".

I was able to retrieve Cargo cases from another room to replace the book shelves. It took five of these animals (one for the stereo and one each for the huge speakers.) there are two remotes because there is not enough room on one remote to hold all the buttons. The speakers were simple to setup. Everything works fine out of the box. However this system may be tad overkill. But the purpose is not for great volumes as great ranges to hear the subtle sounds that you can only get in a concert hall. Many of the time I have to pick the "flat" option to keep the boom box effect to overwhelm the music.

Well with its new home and a little adjustment this is the system to take me into the next couple of decades before the technology will make it obsolete.

Sony Muteki LBT-ZUX9:

1000 Watts of power, NOT the FST 880 wat version...

This comes with 4 decent sized speakers, which are good sounding. You can hook up a Powered subwoofer to this stereo, however, it has to be through regular speaker wires in order to work properly, instead of the RCA jacks. NOTE: Don't hook up to all 4 speakers if you decide to hook up a 1000 watt powered subwoofer, it will overload your system. If you should accidentally do this after reading this review, just unplug your stereo system for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Also, another note, I have an iPod classic 160 GB, this system's USB port will NOT support or play this. Just hook it up with an audio cord to the audio in. When you put this on Z-Groove or Regular Groove, This system will get bass lows, but not quite all of them. The lowest it would go is to the mid G Bass note, other than that, you have to have the Groove effect completely off in order to get all your low notes for bass. I'd say Stereo companies had this problem starting around 1998, because my Sony stereo from 1998 had this exact problem. I will guarantee though, this is better than my 1995/1996 Sony stereo system. All in all, I have given this LBT-ZUX9 3 stars for all of its flaws. Overall, if you're not a perfectionist like I am, it's well worth the price, but you won't find this product or model number in local stores like Sears, Target or Wal*Mart, not even the SONY store. I will try to have a video review on YouTube soon. under RockerOfClassics. Thank you for taking time to read this.

Always God bless and have a good day.
