Malcolm, Cheltenham

+ There are so many. This is a great system and stunning value for money. DAB radio, iPod and CD and bass unit. What more could you ask? The build quality is amazing and even the remote control feels like it was made from girders!

- This is the tiniest, pickiest thing but the radio aerial socket in on the right hand side of the control unit so if you were to spread out the speakers it would be difficult to hide the connection. But hey!!!

+ Good sound performance and aesthetic design. Very easy to connectup and get going.

- The menus for detailed setting up and selecting modes/radio stations etc are not very intuitive and take some time to learn.

+ The slim NXT speakers are great and the subwoofer copes well. The total sound will adequately fill an average size room unless you want plaster cracking volume.

- The iPod when inserted in it's slot obscures part of the main unit.

Trevor, Chislehurst

+ Good system where you are short for space for the main speakers.

- You cannot run the machine without the sub-woofer in place as this is the main driver for the unit. This restricts options as the sub-woofer is quite big and I'd like the option to run with just the 2 speakers in smaller rooms. inserting and removal ofa CD is slightly awkward as the slide does not allow full access of a CD. Remote control can be a bit fussy. Overall I'm happy with the product.

+ Excellent value. Nothing looked and sounded as good at this price point with an ipod adaption. I had a minor scare when the manual said it wasn't compatible with 3rd gen ipods but it worked okay (the track titles didn't appear on the LED but I don't mind).

- Completely agree with a magazine review I read stating there was too much bass. While this is okay at low levels, turning it up produced quite a boomy sound, quickly rectified by adjusting the tone settings. While not ideal, one can live with it due to the good value for money. Also the remote is a little clumsy and sometimes unresponsive.
