Great sound for the price.I was hesitant to buy this sound system at first because Sharp doesn't exactly have a renown reputation for audio products but MD XL-10 was comparable with Sony/Pioneer and superior to Panasonic MD minisystems of the same price range.
Using Yamaha's Active Servo Technology, bass quality is excellent - precise, deep, solid, but not headache pounding hard...
Not "the best" in its category, but absolutely worth the price and guaranteed not to be a dissapointment
