Make no mistake, it sounds great, but at this sort of price you'd expect it to be able to fly you to the moon and back.

At almost $700 and with no outstanding features you’d be mad to purchase the Wave Radio II. However, if you did, you would be absolutely amazed by the quality sound it produces.

Overall it's quite a respectable unit, which will suit casual users.

A very commendable micro Hi-Fi system from Kenwood that combines great sound and design with a myriad of sound equalisation options.

An attractive, well-specified and reasonably priced micro Hi-Fi

The FB162 is a great way to be able to experience a fantastic range of audio sources all on a single device. Its jack-of-all-trades nature may dissuade those looking for something specific, but those after an all-rounder type system will be well served with this product.

LG’s XA63 is a solid mini Hi-Fi system. Its advanced features are more novel than useful, but it handles most tasks easily.

An impressive system that seems capable of doing almost everything and still comes in at a good price

The FB163 is a product with plenty of functionality — USB inputs, DVD and DivX playback and an iPod dock. It sounds great, but the implementation of these extra features isn't as smooth as it could have been.

The SC-PM71 is an exceptional sounding unit which has the added convenience of an included portable music player and the ability to record and share via the popular SD card medium. An excellent product but perhaps a little on the pricey side.

If you're not overly worried about audio quality, and are looking for a simple and attractive way to play your iPod on speakers, then the Philips MCM108D provides a very affordable answer.
