I bought this stereo in place of a surround system because of price. It had the full stereo sound, more than I expected for 200 watts. The bass is very full. The electronic equalizer is a great feature. It seems to have a pretty solid cd changer. The radio works great, also nice and full. I also use it as my computer's sound system, using the aux jacks.Overall, it's a great stereo for the money.
