Philips MCD703
$310.00
Released September, 2006
The Pros:Cool looking finish on the speakers, looks impressive. Setup is fairly easy, might not even need to refer to instructions. Plays everything but Blu-ray, good range of compatibility.
The Cons:Need to play with the settings to get compressed audio (MP3, XM) to sound right. Takes some adjusting to get the subwoofer to sound right. Hard to match the color of the wood to existing wood furniture.
The Philips MCD703 is a mid-range micro home theater system. The stylish shelf system plays a wide variety of audio and video formats, including CDs, MP3 CDs, and DVDs. The 100W unit features Dolby Digital technology, delivering high-quality, realistic surround sound in movies and music.
