"Entirely delightful"

What I like:

front speaker quality and clarity,overall build, replaceable sub

What I don't like:

stock sub is lower quality and lighter that front speakers

Review:

i love this dvd system, some little drawbacks are not enough to put a downer on this system, the sub is not too clever, but i soon replaced the sub with a more expensive 4ohm alternative, YES THE SUB IS REPLACEABLE!! THE ACTUAL CONNECTOR CLIPS OPEN SO YOU CAN EXCHANGE THE SUBWOOFER GUYS! once you have a nice new quality ( not RMS hogging ) subwoofer in place were talking a 250watts max beauty, then the bass can come across clean,clear and refined. ok it shouldnt have to be replaced but come on guys the sub is clearly the cheapest component in the set up and is upgradeable,why claim the system sucks because of it.

yes you cant mess with the EQ but have you not seen the philips moto simpler is better (or is that panasonics moto?? who cares!! they are right, the system sounds its best left alone.

ok you cant adjust bass level, yes this is a slight downer but again...a nice sub in place works wonders, you wont want it adjusting. the actual front speakers are very nice, they bounce away with suprising clarity and very nice treble extension. this is not a 5.1 surround system and it does not try to be, but it does what it says on the box, it adds very nice subtle surround effects and is powerful to boot!

overall its a nice system and the sub out being 4ohm is open to a nice selection of subwoofers with varying power handling and quality. again yes the subwoofer should not have to be replaced and in all honesty it isnt that bad, but for those that like a bit of rumble and quality it holds back a bit and can rattle, invest in a nice not too expensive subwoofer and this system rivals systems £££'s more, there are reviews here that are abysmal because of freek occurances, if these things were common philips would not be putting them on sale they are not stupid. ive owned mine 6 months now, replaced the sub after a month with a nice 10inch long throw 250watt max beauty (pricey but yummm) well worth the buy if you know what to expect with the sub, its good but when replaced is not a worry.
