I cannot believe you people buy $250 systems and complain of the sound!!! Bose are you kidding me maybe go out to a REAL AUDIO STORE and drop some cash on what REAL AUDIO IS!!!!! If you spend $250 you GET a $250 STEREO!!! "It cries for a subwoofer" You make me CRY with your amazing ability to describe audio like a CHICK!!! |

Strength:
Great 3 way speakers. Tight Bass, not like the thumping unrefined bass of some other systems, Q sound, treble and bass controls, T bass, can choose the color of the display (8 colors)
Weakness:
No cassette deck, main unit takes up too much space (due to fan on rear) for a micro system After searching long and hard for a decent micro system, I had narrowed it down to the Onkyo DWS-500 and Aiwa. I listened to both (classical, modern jazz, new flamenco, and pop music), and they were both close, but at higher volumes, the aiwa system's speakers did not reverberate. Very tight bass even at high volumes. I highly recommend this system. Well placed controls and nice remote unit. |

Strength:
Looks like something out of StarTrek Voyager or Enterprise! Colorful display, Nice motorized acrylic (not glass) vertical CD top loading door.
Weakness:
Sound. Lacks Cassette or MiniDisc Despite its nice futuristic looks, the motorized cd acrylic cover and its colorful display. This thing does not reproduce music as it should. The bass is not existent below 200Hz. Cries for the help of a subwoofer. Although it has dome tweeters, the high frequencies seem to fall at 12KHz. Seems like Aiwa performed some restrictions on the sound, specially the bass, to avoid over driving its power amplifier (16Watts/Ch) or speakers. But this measures hurt to death the sound quality. I performed some tests with a subwoofer conected (it provides a line output dedicated for subwoofer connection) and the bass improved greatly. I even conected an Aiwa AM-F70 portable minidisc recorder/player through its AUX input and it sounded much better than the built-in CD Player and Tuner.
