This system has a control front panel, a separate tuner, and a 10-channel amp with a multiplexing input selector, analog to digital conversion for the tuner, tape, and sat radio, active filters, equalization, and digital signal processing.

Each speaker looks well made, with injection-molded, application-specific frames and synthetic rubber surrounds instead of thin stamped metal and cloth.

It has two 6.5 subs with no grille, firing into a 3mm-thick piece of ABS, and those woofers have a mechanical resonance of 80 Hz - when they are being crossed in at 80 Hz!

Bottom line -there was a LOT of money wasted on this audio system. Whether or not your red herring statement about ALL sound systems is true, this system is a terrible example of performance return on cost.
