| pla's Full Review: Aiwa NSX-HMT76 Digital Mini Theater System |
I recently both this system and I really love it.
For a long time I wanted to buy a system with a really good sound but I didn't want to spend a thousand dollars for it. So when I saw this one I thought that was what I was looking for.
The sound
It is really great. It has 1% THD. Other systems for the same and higher price have 10% THD, some don't even mention it... If you want smaller THD you should buy a full system which has 0.09% - 0.02% THD and cost over $1000. I really enjoy the sound - rich and detailed even at its lows, which is important because most of the time I cannot boost it up or I'd have to look for a new apartment. But this doesn't mean it doesn't have power - 300W is more than enough for me.
It comes with 50 Watt Powered Subwoofer (8 ohms, THD 1% at 60 Hz) which is really nice and with the surround it becomes a real 5.1 Dolby Digital theatre system.
Features
It has very good features. You can use presets or your own equalizers. It has 3-positions t-bass and 3-positions BBE.
Although I noticed that when I change from one equalizer preset to another the sound is interrupted for half a second which is irritating.
It stores 32 stations. The 3 cd changer enables you to change 2 of the cds while the 3rd one is playing. There is a jog for choosing station, track or option - very good for changing from track 7 to 27... Both decks are with full logic.
It has everything I want from it.
All features are easy to use but you may need to read the manual for some of them.
The price
I bought it from WalMart for 299 - it was on Christmas sale and the old price was 400. I have looked at many places and I couldn't find such good price for the quality offered.
My opinion
The ticket for the price has fallen and it was showing the old price - 399, I remembered I had seen it for 300 at the same store but I probably saw something else. When I asked for help for the box I was pleasantly surprised it was 299!
So my opinion - I would buy it for 400, but for 300 - go get it!
