Confirmed purchaser Pop, rock or dance fan

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: I bought this when my husband took my top of the range separates hi-fi when he left, i needed something with superior sound even when listening to the radio.This is a smart looking product with such a good quality of sound even on really loud (not that you need it) that i can safely say it's the best i've heard to date from such a compact system. I would definately recommend this to a friend, in fact i already have!
Bad points:: My only bugbear is if you leave it on at the plug on standby it flashes and scrolls across it's LED screen constantly, really irritating and a complete waste of energy.
