I used to have this system and I was very happy with this. Amazing for parties because you could attach your ipod to it which makes it incredibly easy to change music etc. I think the speakers are also really cool because of their brown/ wood appearance so I think it is always nice to display them. I do think that the main body is quite bulky though however this can be hidden in a more discrete place. Also the bass is really good so you can have a variety of music playing really well. I personally don't like the buttons very much because I found that they sometimes got stuck when using, however I was able to return and replace the system with the guarantee. I think this system best suites a bedroom rather than living room but that's a personal preference. Also be careful as to not overheat the system by placing things on top of the main body.
