Cons At this price point there aren't any. Simply a pure music machine.
Recommended it? Yes

Pros great sound
Cons ugly look
Recommended it? Yes

Before buying this system I went to a few retail stores with my own CD and cassettes to test different shelf audio systems. I tested at least 25-30 systems. This one initially repelled me by it's look (I must admit it looks strange with all those yellow colors), until I finally decided to test it... Read full review »
