Micro Hi-Fi System

My husband is a professional touring sound engineer and insist on buying anything related to sound. Well I saw this product at the store and purchased it. Got it set up (very easy) and had it on when he got home. He was amazed when he realized that what he was hearing came from this little system. Next thing I know it went missing he took it to work to showork everyone how great it is. Needless to say he kept it at work and I had to go purchase another one.

I use this in my office and I love it. The sound quality is there even at low volumes. The design is sleek and unobtrusive and it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in my office. I didn't mount mine on the wall because I don't like the look of the power chord or the FM antenna wire being exposed.

I like the ease of use for CD playback. The ease of use in radio station selection on an MC230 is cumbersome. Search and select is a poor method. The MC235 appears to have fixed this. I like the wall mounting; it looks good next to my kitchen breakfast bar. My MC230 s old and degrading, so I'm very disappointed Phillips no longer offers the MC235 or anything similar. Maybe EB.

I could easily see this being a difficult set up process for someone just wanting to play their CD. There are many options to decide beforehand, not really knowing if they are necessary to set up and collaborate. The wires on the back of the apparatus had no 'B Port' connection. They are still just wrapped and unattached to the back side, even though the speakers work great and are connected; the 'fiber connections' with clear casing were rendered useless. However; I do see many possibilities with what they could be used for or incorporated into; both visually attracting and compatible with the 'pre-installed' aspects. I don't necessarily like seeing a waste of product which is why I wanted, and have, thought of many useful and beneficial "ideas" for these 'wires with no point'. This device is light-weight and easily transportable. The front glass sliding cover of mine did break and no longer is attached due to it falling off the ledge because the speakers being permanently connected wasn't easily balanced. We know that Wi-Fi; or even ( Hi-Fi ) has bluetooth capabilities; so why the speaker wiring? Definitely a curious device which got my creativity going, but not something I would reccomend to an individual not too familiar with the race game of technology.
