This is an amazing little system. It's price has dropped considerably. At about 250, it's a good buy. Definitely not a boom box. The speakers are very smooth and mature sounding. Very solid cabinets and subjectively very well made. Comparable to a pair of Paradigm Atoms, a benchmark two way speaker, price considered but with a better fit and finish. The receiver has a nice heft to it which likely reflects quality amplifier components. The tuner is good with a coax output for an antenae. The cd player works as advertised but the lack of mp3 support is a little disappointing. It really should have a dvd drive with either DVD audio, SACD or playback capabilty for both if only to offer a little bit of future proofing. This system could easily replace a lot of larger systems with no reduction in quality of sound. Add a sub (Paradigm PDR-8/PDR-10, HSU STF1...) and you have a world class (cd only!)system that won't disappoint. Yamaha receivers are typically very long lived. This should last for many years.
