Advantages: Good tone quality, good tape recording quality Disadvantages: Needs longer leads on speakers - needs frequent CD lens cleaning
...that's when we bought our Aiwa NSX-V70 from Comets and, although I am aware that others seem to have given this stereo system bad reviews, we have found ours to be really excellent. Maybe it's something to do with acoustics but we find the tone very rich, particularly on its equalizer settings - I purchased a couple of phono leads and connected to our nicam Sony VCR and/or DVD player. Another thing that must be said, is that we have not "hammered" ... ...long service. Although the original price was near to £400, I have since seen the same unit going on Ebay from around £50. The prices have come right down on these units now. Facilities:
The two speakers have two sets of cables, one (twin) set for standard stereo and another (quad) set for the surround sound. The system has a 3 X CD player. That means you can place 3 CDs in the tray and it will play through them one after the other, you can also ...

Advantages: Sounds alright when it works Disadvantages: It will die very quickly
I have got three of these so called stereo systems round my house from mates who have bought them against my advice and then found that within three years the cd player just stops picking up on the cd and refuses to play anything. This can hardly be a coincidence. When one friend went to get his unit repaird he was told that the repair shop gets these in all the time but it would be a waste of time to repair it as it would probably cost more than ... ...wouldn't breakdown again within about three months.
When the stereo was fulling working it did sound amazingly good for such a cheap system. This is mainly due to the speakers which seem to pump out a very warm bass sound. The tape decks work fine until they start chewing up tapes at random but in the end i wouldn't risk buying one of these. Pay a little more money and get a decent separates system. At least then when your cd player packs up you ...

Advantages: seemingly good value Disadvantages: stops working!
This system is the second aiwa midi hi-fi I have owned. The first one had major problems with the CD lens after about three years, and, true to form, having owned my current systen for about three years the CD part of the system is starting to malfunction.
Possibly this could just be my bad luck, but for it to happen twice is downright strange. Up until now I have been pleased with it; it was good value for money and does most of thing I want it ...

Advantages: Good sound Disadvantages: Lacks hi frequency sound
I bought the Aiwa NSX-S555 about a year ago, and have been very pleased with its performance.
The system only cost around £180, but had the following features
3 CD Multichanger
Twin tape decks
AM/FM Tuner
4 - ways speakers with Sub Woofer
Preset Graphilical Equalisers
Optical Output
It sounds very good, and the large sub woofer pumps out some very good bass. It is a little lacking in the high range sounds, there is the option of adding some ... ...where to purchase them.
The 3-CD changer is very good, and saves a lot of time with swapping discs. I have found the optical output very useful for recording on to Mini Disc, it produces a good quality copy.
This is a great system for the price, it is reliable too, I have used it every day for over a year and I have never had any problem with it at all. ...

Advantages: lots of fetures, good quality speakers Disadvantages: poor quality cables
I bought this system over a year ago for just under 250 quid. I was attracted by good price and good set of features. The system includes two speakers, with 180 degrees of spacial front sound and have capacity of 120 watts each. The system itself has gor karaoke built it, tape recorder, 3 CD changer, 4 band radio reciever, over 10 preset graphic equaliser and digital out for MD deck connection. It has also two extra ports in its amplifier for connection ... ...I even plugged my computer to it and the sound quality is brilliant. It is pity that only basic cables were included so for the best sound quality I suggest to opt for more expensive copper ones. You wont regret it! The manual is well written and clear to understand. The system is easy in use. ...

Advantages: Cheap, And Nothing Else Disadvantages: Far, Far, Far, too many
This is the most rubbish thing I have ever had the mis fortune to lay my eyes on. Its a complete shambles. If you ever look inside it, as i did, you will notice that it has more sellotape in it than a blue peter tracy island! I have to say however that you get what you pay for, its fairly cheap, and i can see why.
The sound quality is also a bit dodgy. I use my headphones a lot and after a month the socket was virtually falling off, and i had to ...
