Aiwa JAX-D5 Mini Hi-Fi System with 3-DVD-Changer

Advantages: Great looks, clear sound, good price
Disadvantages: Not very loud, short speaker cables

...I have just been out and purchased a small hi fi for my lounge. In days gone by, we had monsterous stacking hi fi systems but, as with all technology, things have shrunk and vastly improved in quality. The same goes for Aiwa Hi Fi equipment. Once upon a time, Aiwa was frowned on in the High Street. Known for its cheaper styles and even cheaper sound, it was one to steer clear of. However, this little beauty does a great job at a great price and looks out of this world. If you pop along to Ikea and look at most of the furniture, light wood is definitely in at the moment. Wheather it be light oaks or maples, it the surface that most cabinets come in. In fact, most of the little stereo systems in their demo rooms look very similar to the Aiwa XR-EM200 micro hi fi. This was one of the main selling points for me. The look... Read review

Advantages: Great features, reliable, good speakers and remote...
Disadvantages: None

...am very pleased with the way my HiFi looks. Dimensions of the unit are 160 X 236.2 X 209.3 mm. It weighs 2.6 kg and is easy to carry. POWER SOURCES The HiFi comes with a lead to connect to an AC socket on your wall, and the battery takes two size AA batteries, which last for an extremely impressive length of time. I don’t think I’ve replaced them at all yet. The lead to connect to a wall socket is long enough to reach without getting in the way. The power required is 230 V AC, and the power consumption is 30W. IN CONCLUSION The HiFi is available at an excellent price and has some fantastic features. It is reliable and also looks good, so I really can’t think of any disadvantages here. Radio, Cassette and CD can be listened to, with many extra useful features, so the Aiwa LCX-150 is fantastic HiFi system... Read review

Advantages: Good Mids & Highs, Feather Touch Cassette Deck, 5 CD Changer, Good Aesthetics
Disadvantages: Costs £148 for a Micro, Average Bass Quality, Average Build Quality

...& often tended to jarr & slightly displace the speaker position in accord with the bass. This is not at all acceptable to a Pessimist like me. The Tap Test gave a hollow response suggesting low material density & the speaker boxes weren’t heavy at all which resulted in the slight displacement of the speakers at high volumes. I seriously feel that Aiwa should have gone for better wood. Though the Detachable grills honor their purpose by effectively protecting the speakers from dust & moisture & also aid in the Bass-Reflex process, they too are not of a very long lasting material. A very average build deserves a very average 3/5, Doesn’t it ??? ***TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS*** ○ High Power, 80W/ch (RMS 10% THD) ○ Newly Developed micro Hi-Fi... Read review
