What I like:

The style and WiFi functionality...second to none

What I don't like:

Substations controls

Review:

With this system (WACS7000) you get a main station and a sub station that wirelessly connect. No need for a computer or even a wireless home network. These little babies can see each other quite happily and at a decent range, mine are over 10 meters apart, although I am using a wireless router, which can apparently double the range.

The WACS7000 comes with a 80gb hard drive which is adequate. The two-way remote control is also a little belter as it reads out the menu off your system on a handy 2.5" screen, so no need to keep jumping up to see what your selecting.

As for the operating system and the software, I would say its very easy to get up and running and its an intuitive interface. All the expected features are there, such as a search function, play songs from the same artist, genre etc... etc... However the software on the substation seems less responsive.

Also on the downside transferring tracks onto the system from your computer or ripping them from a CD (you can put into the unit) can also take a while.

Overall I love this system, it looks very stylish, it sounds great and it has that all-important wireless functionality, I know I won't be changing it for a while. In-fact the only thing I'll be doing is adding more substations.
