    Overall this is a great system that produces a lot of sound. Doesn't stand out like other big systems but still delivers same quality of sound. Being used in office but would recommend for most rooms, even a living room if no other system in there.

    We enjoy the Micro CD System every night
    By javafool TerryVerified Reviewer from Clearwater, Florida on 10/23/2007
    Pros:
    Attractive Design, Compact, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Great Sound
    Cons:
    No battery back-up
    Best Uses:
    Bedroom
    Describe Yourself:
    Musically Inclined, Professional, Tech Savvy
    Bottom Line:
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    My wife talked me into having a radio on at night when we sleep. I had seen this system in the store, and was really impressed with the size and sound in the store. When Brookstone had the systems on sale, I could not resist. I purchase one and haven't been the least bit sorry.
    We play the radio every night as we sleep. It drowns out outside noises that used to be distracting as we sleep. My wife wasn't real supportive when I told her I wanted to order this system. From the first night, she totally changed her mind. It has remarkable sound quality for its size.
    The only two improvements I would really like to see is a battery back-up. Every time we have a power failure I have to reset the clock and the base & treble settings. I would also like the volume control increments to be a little closer together. At 6, it is a little too low and at 7 it is almost too loud for the bedroom. Otherwise, my wife and I are both very satisfied with the Micro System and we sleep more soundly.

    It is perfect for my bedside. My kids love to listen to my CDs and dance on my bed. It has great sound, is compact and reasonably priced. This is my second unit though...my first one had something go wrong with one of the speakers. Brookstone replaced the unit without any questions. I would purchase a second unit if I could figure out what to do with it.
