Strength:
Bass, power to back it up. High treble, lots of sound/equilizer settings. Dozens of settings. Quiet changer operation, still. Best deal out there, at least 2 years ago, when it first came out. Deserves 11 value stars
Weakness:
looks perhaps, but they grow on you Way to go Philips! About time someone got it right. I've been meaning to write a review on this system for a couple years now, but even after 2 years of extreme abuse when no one is in the house, this has held up great. The sound is the most accurate I have heard from anything short of a component system. Far superior to any other little Hi-Fi out there. The sound is crystal clear, but yet has enough bass to shake the walls of my house, and the power to back it up. Usually you will find a system that will put out lots of bump, but as soon as you turn it up, it's all over. The volume goes to 40 on it, and with full bass boost on and at 35, it will crank even techno without a hiccup. Oh yea, one of the nicest features of this you will use once is when you first plug it in, it will find all available radio stations automatically. Great if the power goes out, even though it has been out here for up to 8 hours, and all I have lost is the time. When I bought this I was all about Aiwa, but Philips showed me what's up. Philip's all the way! :) Similar Products Used: Aiwa P.O.S. |

Strength:
great sound, ghetto fabulous look (maybe a minus if you very conservitive), simple controls.
Weakness:
probably that Phillips used the display from the fwc-722 or something. They coulda taken out the woox display slot and put so,mething of use there. great sytem. All you ever need for everyday listening. superb bass, great mid range, no distortion yet (which is awesome when ya listen to groups like weezer with loud bass and overlapping guuitar parts.). Similar Products Used: uhhhhhh 1996 ish RCA 9310 or something. |

Strength:
Lots of options, great sound quality and more than enough base for the average enthusiasts. (Love the colors)
Weakness:
A little large, but what can you expect. This mini system is on of the best I've seen as far as sound quality goes. I've been nothing but pleased with it ever since I've gotten it. All in all if you're looking for an inexpensive sytem that has what you want, this is it. |

Strength:
Grat sound and bass, so good its hard to remember how much power it has
Weakness:
You can sumtimes hear air blowing because so much bass is cuming out of the bass tube I love music and Im always using my stereo. I have had other stereos befoure because I turn the volume up too much and I blow my speakers.Oooops my bad. But I have had this one for over a year and it gets way louder than other stereo Ive had including one i had that was $300 !!! It has grat bass, and sound. I turn it up all the time and my speakers are still just like they where when I got them. I recomend this stereo to anybody!!!!!!! Similar Products Used: $450 philips suround sound system |

Strength:
I tested out about 10 different mini systems with a $150 to $700 price range on the day that I bought this product, and this one had the best overall sound. The other ones either sounded too muffled (i.e. weak mid/high range), or didn''t have enough bass for my taste.
Weakness:
It''s appearance could be worked on. I don''t like the orange colored bass reflex port. It should be silver or something... This is a really good system. It has a good sound spectrum with the ability to pump out all the bass that a mini-system can produce, comes with lots of features, and is very well priced. |
