Sweet and detailed sound with separate sub woofer output.

Low power at 15 watts per channel.

HAVE A PROBLEM NEEDS REPAIR. CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND a GOOD REPAIR SHOP IN SYDNEY?

Excellent crisp sounds and great looks

Not too-friendly remotes

I was always fascinated with Nakamichi systems but couldnt affort one until I picked up SS5 for a bargain. I am amazed by the looks and the richness of sound produced by this tiny work of art.

Being a classical music/jazz listener, I found this system producing excellent sound. Midrange and treble are clear and crisp even at high volumes and bass is ok too. The aux-in is quite adeqaute to connect my MP3 player and am very please with the response. I would rate this on par or even better than Bose Wave Music System.

Look out for deals for systems such as this. You wont regret it!

Good Design. Reasonable Sound. Good Bass. Three Disc Changer. Two remotes.

No Clock. Nakamichi Could Improve a little on the mid range woofers.

The soundspace 5 is an exceptionally good audio system. This lifestyle system gives out good sound and is capable of producing reasonably deep base despite its size. In the aspect of clarity it may not be able compete with separate systems, but it compensates with its build and design. A true audiophile would never go for this sort of system, however if you're interested in good sound and design, it is very much recommended.It is better than Bose in terms of sound quality, perhaps not as loud, but clearer. And a lot cheaper than B&O, which is purely design. The Linn Classik produces better sound quality however with a higher price tag, and not so interior friendly, with the Linn speakers it would never be able to generate as much bass as the Nakamichi with its sub-woofer unless you are willing to fork out two to three times more money. In terms of clarity the Linn beats this, which is more aimed for audiophiles, the Nakamichi is more towards friendliness to the ears and eyes.A little tuning to the treble and mid range should be able to produce what the Linn produces at flat. The question is how much you are willing to fork out. Hell for the same price as Linn you can get separates that sound much better than Linn, but perhaps again the aspect of design comes in. I feel in terms of design and sound this is the most value for money system to buy at this price.

looks are absaloutley stunning esspecialy on the wall with cables etc. hidden from veiw.colour display change neat. the sound quality for my small dining room is spot on.

maybee not as powerfull as i thought but more than enough for my neighbours.

wow what a bargain! got my little baby in the jan sales and was i lucky. i had allready promised myself one at the normal price localy at £720. if you like clarity especialy classic etc. then this is the one. it has impressed all who have seen it so far. i am still very happy and tunner has many pre sets, all in all worth what i paid but is a bit steep at full price.

none in this class sony philips ect.

sound is excellent and so is bass. maybe could b used in a larger room if hooked to speakers.

when really loud, above 45, it makes a shaky sound cos of small size of speakers.

hi when i bought this system, i just expected good loox. I got much more. The ss 5 has alot of bass and sounds better than my sony home theatre system. The problem with it is that when i turn it really loud, the damn speakers sqeak. Nakamichi shiuld ahve amde larger spekaers insteda of small ones for the sound saving look in my opinion. This system looks good but not as good as i had thought. I will still go on to buy more naakmichi prodcuts as im a freak abt systems. I do not know how to get the sw-5 woofer which comes along with this but i will attemp to locate it or use a different sub woofer. It is heavily priced but i really like the sound.

Looks. Small size.

Mediocre sound. Expensive for what it is.

Honestly I was expecting more. The mistake I made was that I didn't listen to it in the store before buying. And what's weird about my displeasure is that I was primarily going for looks vs sound because this was going to be an ancillary system. The looks are great, but the sound should be better. My $140 pair of Altec-Lansing speakers and sub-woofer off my laptop sound MUCH better than the Nakamichi. On a bright note, it is a looker and the sound while standing in need of improvement is not bad. It's not as mobile as an all-in-one unit such as the B&O Beosound 2000, which is more of a looker, albeit more expensive. Hey and no cassette deck on the Nakamichi? Nope. I could imagine some high-end boom boxes sounding just the same.

Great looks--futuristic, impressive, and eye-catching. Good CD-loading design.

Sound does not match the heavy price tag.

Firstly, let me begin my saying that I don''''t own this system. I have listened to it extensively though at my local Sharper Image store, and I wanted to offer people an unbiased review. Well, the Soundspace 5 isn''''t all that great. Yes, it''''s a handy and cute little system with a great, futuristic look accompanied by a great little remote, but considering it''''s not audiophile sound and that the price tag is around $800 new, this system is better for those who care more about looks than sound. It is true that if you are going to use this for a very small room, such as a small office, kitchen, or tiny bedroom, it will be great--but there are systems that sound just as good for much less. That''''s where a buyer has to decide just how important looks are. I didn''''t listen to this system with the optional subwoofer, which is just more unnecessary money being thrown away in my opinion, so I can''''t say what that adds, but I did notice that without it the bass is very lacking. Don''''t expect too much bass from a little system this. So, in conclusion, if you are the type of person that would buy one of these for the sole intention to impress, and you have quite a bit of money to blow, and only intend to use this for a tiny room, than this baby would be perfect. But if you are looking to provide a larger room with big sound, and are budget-conscious, and care more about sound than futuristic looks, than this system is not for you. After reading the reviews from owners on the site I found that that many positive reviews could only mean one thing--buyers know that they got somewhat ripped off, so they have convinced themselves that they didn''''t just pay for the brand and the looks, they paid for great sound, which in fact, is false.
