Grundig M100-R > Reviews (1)

I have worked at Dixons for 18 months now and high indepth knowledge (yes some Dixons employees do know what they are talking about) and as I specialize in audio I have sued most hi-fi systems available. My opionion on all Grundig products is very low. The last Gundig I bought was a long time ago and it broke down three times. Grundig are economy manufatures. Yes their prices are good but AIWA do some very good budget systems for not much extra and the differnence in quality amazing (MD-300 for one). You mayu have also come across Matsui (Dixons own budget brand), Venturer, Pro Line, Bush and, Alba and Goodmans. All these are made my Grundig using the same parts. If you are going to go for a budget, you can save yourself more money by looking for a similar product by one of these manufactures (some are suprisingly similar in every way but with a different badge).

In the case of the M100R - we got it in stock very erly on and although it looks the business, modern, stylish and looks like it is quailty - the sound is lacking way behind the likes of Sony, Aiwa or Panasonic. The point of Mini-Disc is t provide super digital amazing sound quality and the amplifier and speakers in a Grundig just cant do that. Also beware - Grundig and other buget brands, although seem cheap, the company selling them makes much, much more profit on these than the expecive main brand equivilants.
