Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What you need to know: connections on the back are not what you might expect. I'll post a photo of the back so you can see this. I plan to run longer speaker wires, so I was not thrilled when this arrived and saw that the speaker and antenna connections are some very small plugs. That means I'll have to splice the speaker wires and I can't use a standard antenna if I get poor reception when I take it to the store where I plan to use it. Otherwise, my initial impression is positive. The sound quality is really pretty good and volume is adequate for background music or small rooms. Without reading instructions, I navigated tuning and saving some presets, playing a CD. I did have to read the short instructions to pair with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but that went quickly and I was able to stream Dolores In A Shoestand by E.S.T. through my Amazon Prime account. Next, I copied an MP3 track to a USB drive, slapped it in and got it to play. I've not tried the rear 3.5mm input jack (a standard, thanks!) or the front headphone jack. I've added another image so you can see that the speaker grille can be easily removed to reveal the two drivers. This also illustrates the faux woodgrain finish on the speaker boxes. Bottom line, my initial impression is that this system can do a decent job of reproducing music from a variety of sources. Assuming it proves durable, it seems to be a good value.
