IF you are short on space and money but want a proper sounding system then i strongly recomend you trial one of these little gems.
I am a new student living in halls so i needed something a bit smaller than my old sony reciever i was using at home. Although i've moved my system into a different room i could instanty tell the difference between my clapped out sony reciever, this unit sounds greeeeeeeat!
Best features:
- it does everthing (DAB....the works)
- the clarity and natrility (i made that word up) of the sound at high volumes (volume 30 with Direct on is the only way to listen to it!), bass is tight and supprisingly punchy for something with only 40 watts to give (provides Drum and Bass with plenty bass, well enough to annoy the crap out my flat mates!), also has very good dynamic range (i thought my rock collection ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Onkyo CR-515
Advantages: Sound quality, features, dab Disadvantages: Price
I am big on music. I have 300+ albums and its growing fast.... i thought it was pointless having all this cool music and only playing them through my crummy stereo i got when i was 16. So, i decided to invest. Having recently come back from japan i saw this was big over there so having arrived back in the UK, i took the plunge an dbought the onkyo speakers with it.
Its incredibly handsome. Bullet proof build quality and a nice display make this look th part. The remote is functional but kind of bland. It is incredibly easy to set up and has numerous amounts of inputs so it will just about connect to anyhting (connected to my computer as we speak).
The sound quality is phenomenal. When my friends have parties they all borrow because it sounds amazing. Full bass and crisp treble. For such a small machine and speakers i could not ...
Advantages: Improves radio quality, easy to use Disadvantages: Wires can get in the way, another thing to remember

Like I say, easy to use. Much like a Sat Nav you can take it in and out of the car and you stick it your window like a Sat Nav. However if you do have Sat Nav, this can also be a con - if you think about it, another thing to remember in the morning and another thing stuck to your window.
Another draw back to it is that you may find the cable gets in the way, dependent on where you have it. It is supplied with a in car power supply which you plug into your ciggerrate lighter - which can also be another downside if your Sat Nav starts to lose it's battery life. You can use standard batteries, but it's not as good - the signal seems weaker and it's definately not as loud. As a drummer, I am going deaf so I need things as loud as possible!
Tuning it in is very simple, you select the DAB radio 'wave/address' (whichever ...
