Aiwa, i think makes the best shelf systems around. This model is no exception, wiht great sound, and QED sound, which allows you to change it to a rock, classical etc. setting of sound. The bass is great, and the the illuminated display is awesome.
One problem is the cd tray sometimes does stick, but that is minor and barely ever happens. The controller is also good. The AM/FM radio has great reception, and has up to about 25 pre-sets for your favourite stations.
I got this one for a good price, and its lasted forever, BUY THIS machine, or at least an aiwa.
