Worthwhile purchase

By Dr.D

from Virginia on 10/27/2009

Pros:

Attractive Design, Easy Controls, Easy To Set Up

Best Uses:

Basic Use, Smaller Rooms

Describe Yourself:

Practical

Bottom Line:

Comments about Sony Sony Micro Hi-Fi Component Shelf System In Black:

I am a morning news junkie and use other equipment for other listening needs (iPod for audiobooks, for example). This works especially well for me, since sound quality isn't critical for the news. I have it in a large room, which is probably too big for the stereo. A smaller room would give you better sound quality. Took me a while to figure out all of the button-pushing you have to do to get things to work, but set-up and use is not difficult. I was disappointed that it was just a little bit too large to put on the shelf I wanted -- and I won't be able to use the iPod connection as a result.

Service & Delivery comments:

Used an Abt card for trade-in merchandise, which was a real plus, and the customer service person was very helpful. The product came faster than I thought it would.
