Philips MCD908
$500.00
Released October, 2001
The Pros:Solidly-built wooden enclosures reduce vibration during playback. Stylish aesthetic with glowing LEDs in the cabinets. Distinct and attractive remote, with flat brushed keypad and unique button design.
The Cons:Video playback is not great quality for this price point, compared to other Philips models. Upscaling leaves some interlacing lines. Imaging is not great, soundscape feels narrow.
The MCD908 is the lower-end model of Philips' two micro home theater systems. The compact, 150W system features stylish, wood-and-aluminum design and solid build quality. It lacks a separate subwoofer, but features valve-based preamps aimed at audiophiles.
