all compact stereos

I have been pleased all around with this system, beginning with the fact that I expected to wait weeks for it to arrive according to the listing, but it actually came the NEXT DAY after I ordered it. We hooked it up easily and quickly, and have been impressed with the sound quality and options ever since. Switching CDs is a bit slow, but this isn't our main system, just one for the upstairs kitchen/living room/dining room and entertaining. But the design of it is great for formal rooms, and the subwoofer does seem to make a difference in the bass quality. An all-around positive experience, and I recommend this system for a compact, effective stereo.

This stereo has decent sound quality, but is a nightmare to try and operate. Maybe I just got a bad unit (I've returned it, anyway), yet even at those rare times when it did work properly, the loading and unloading process was veeerrrrryyyy long. I've worked with many different systems, and this was by far the most tedious. I suppose, for the money, it's about what one could expect. I'm not sold on Sharp, though. Save yourself from frequent boiling frustration and try another stereo.

I purchased this for work, figuring that for the price if the sound quality wasn't great I'd still be happy. I've been pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of the sound is incredible....all types of music at all volumes. I've had issues in the past with systems that lose quality at low volumes, especially when listening to classical music. I have had no problem at all with this system. I plan to purchase another system for my home office. This is a great everyday unit.
