Hifi or mino hifi or now more commonly called micro hifi are so cheap nowadays. U can get one for $100+++ Last evening i got one new mini system cos my coming to 10 yr old aiwa is ailing. The sound is still good but the cd player is skipping wif every 10-20 sec of playback.

Anyway, my new panasonic mini is only $399 wif some discount which i shall not reveal here..hha..The sound is crisp n clear tho initially when i tested it out @ best denki, it really sounded screeching high. The best sound still comes frm aiwa wif ample bass n clarity. The JVC set which i tested (oso $399) sounds flat. I believe only the higher end models ($499 & $599) will sound better wif their woofers n tweeters.

No more kenwood in Singapore that is !!! Tho so far i think Kenwood is one of the better sounding brands. The sales person @ best denki was recommending a Teac dvd model. It was small, but the sound is surprisinly better than bigger models. Teac like Yamaha and Nakamichi r more on the professional audiophile level brands. They r not really electrical appliances consumer brands like Sony, Panasonic, Phillips etc etc.. The cd player which one can listen to the cds @ HMV is frm Nakamichi, the deafening speakers @ HMV is frm Bose.

Saw some other aiwa models at AMK central...the cheaper models r really terrible..the workmanship n feel of these models r so bad...except for the highest end dvd model @ $799. The controls r so loose n flimsy, they felt they can be pulled out wif a few thugs.

Used to rem abt 10 yrs ago, mini combos costed abt $599 to $899 and above if u wan good sound...nowadays combos r getting smaller and also sacrifice on the sound quality. Not to say cheaper. And one thing i notice, shops r importing alot of funny unknown brands...mst be frm China where imitations r everywhere.
