Philips Streamium WACS-7500 Reviews and Price Comparison: Complete System Music Streamer

+ Good concept - central music storage for playing anwhere in the house via effectively portable slave units
Amazingly good quality sound and plenty of bass
Attractive design

- none really

+ Compact, attractive, decent sound quality, station can be positioned for preference, satisfactory CD rip speed (but not fast, so make a cup of tea or something while you're waiting), easy playback, easy auto-tune of radio presets, capable of supporting other devices (in my case, a turntable, so I am able to play vinyl through the WACS speakers - v. important) Not yet tried internet interaction, so can't comment.

- Struggled to get Centre and Station talking to each other initially (nearly gave up) despite following correct procedure, struggled to give artist's name to unrecognised CDs using alphanumeric buttons on remote (though naming album was fine) Biggest drawback is that you cannot transfer music from Centre harddrive to an I-Pod (though you can play music from an I-Pod through the system, and can transfer to other devices, including MP3 player). Also, while harddrive can store a huge number of CDs there is only 3 hours of space available for downloads from other sources (vinyl, radio). So you can build a CD library on the harddrive, but not a library of your vinyl collection (if, like me, you are ancient enough to have one!).

+ Easy to set up and transfer files from the pc. Great sound even connected through the TV. Would recommend

- Not found a way to fast forward or skip songs music when broadcasting the music. Sometimes loses the connection on broadcast even though the station is in the room next to the centre with only a stud wall separting them. Sometimes the centre and station are not totally in sync when broadcasting. The station's are way too expensive.

+ Very Stylish, its like having two stereos for the price of 1, you can rip cd's on the main system and play them on the portable one anyware in the house. Very pleased Well Done Philips.

- None

+ The concept and storage capacity are great.

- the product loses the signal between units to easily ans when you connect to WI FI, you have to wonder if the product has been tested propely. Also the main remote control only works on the rare occasion

- The base unit and second unit do not play in unison.

+ Very stylish design and neat little package as apposed to my big bulky stereo. Great that you can store your music on the hard drive of the centre

- slow when ripping cd's

+ ease of accss to all music - ability to listen to different music using stations in any part of the house - great sound from small stations
