Despite the bad press it's getting for PSN's breach, Sony makes some of the most reliable and best products on the market. This MHC hi-fi system is a testament to that. It's a solid unit, great for a single apartment or condominium, and fills a considerable amount of space with sound whilst saving space due to its size. The bass is rich, although for a young person like myself I prefer a much deeper and more significant bass sound, Black Fridaymp3 playershence my recommendation to pay the extra $30-50 more for the subwoofer model. The system looks great, although as one reviewer pointed out correctly it's a bit dark (I actually mistakenly thought the volume knob in the center would light up or flash, but it doesn't, unfortunately). The MHC is LOUD, meaning at 15 (it goes up to 30) it's enough to definitely permeate the walls and floors, be that good or bad in your situation! I concur with others that it would have been better if Sony included the little iPod docking connector (the small plastic item put on top of the iPod dock itself) due to the relatively small size and small price of such an additive, but they're cheap anyway so perhaps that's the line Sony was thinking. I found speaker set-up to be easy as pie (if making a pie is easy...), not like the days of red wire goes into this slot while black wire goes into that one, etc.-instead, they're already put together in a small white box that easily fits into its necessary spot. Overall, this MHC hi-fi system is by far the best bang for the buck.I just picked this up and it's a very nice shelf system. It's not going to shake the walls at high volume, but if you were looking for that much power, you wouldn't be looking at a shelf system to begin with. The true test of quality sound comes at the lower end of the volume knob. Here is where this unit excels. No hissing or crackling noise and the bass is rich and pure and sounds dynamite. I played a burn job from mp3 files and I was stunned at just how good this unit really does sound! Mind you, this system does have a wee bit more power than comparable units, so you can crank the volume up loud enough for most people's tastes and there is no sound distortion at the high end, either. It's also pretty easy to mount on the wall, if so desired. It does come with a stand, which suffices well enough, if you don't feel like drilling into your walls. I only have one complaint and it's a minor one. While the speakers attach to the unit as seen in the pic, Philips should have also enabled you to be able to mount the speakers onto a wall, apart from the unit, to achieve a much better stereo sound. I have a speaker on the nightstand on each side of the bed and when I lie down to relax with some good tunes, it sounds simply fantastic. So, sound like a good deal? It is, and for a great price, too! Just make sure you have some extra speaker wire handy, as there's not that much attached to each speaker to begin with. Trust me on this. For the price being asked, in my opinion, sound byte for sound byte, this is one of the best shelf units out there. I listened to a lot of small systems in the up to and a little above the one hundred and fifty level and this system won hands down every time.Black Friday music A nice added bonus feature is that it was also the most eye appealing, too!I purchased the Phillips to replace a Sony that died after having less than 2 years. I love this system because it works perfect on my wall and gives me more surface room on the dresser. The other was big and bulky and had to sit on the dresser. Even if that was the case for this stereo It would be such an improvement! The sound is great!I like to listen to music to fall asleep by. I can turn it down enough to be peaceful or during the day can go as loud as I want to. The sound is clear either way. I've gotten use to the remote already because it's not as small as others. I can feel the on/off and the volumn buttons and that's important when you are in the dark. The ONLY thing that I didn't like was the blue light on the front that shows the CD or Station etc. Because I'm in a dark room and wanted to keep it that way the light did annoy me. I fixed the problem with a piece of sign vinyl which I cut out a little larger than the circle and it gets rid of most of the blue light. I guess if that's my only complaint I shouldn't even mention it.
