I bought this stereo yesterday for the princely sum of £139. It kind of looked OK on display in Currys but on getting it home I realised what a cheapy piece of crap it is. That said it's only for the telly/laptop upstairs so it'll do.
Out of the box the sound was appallingly bad, it had some ridiculous MEGA BASS thing turned on by default and a shit EQ profile. Turning everything off and letting the sound be as 'normal' possible salvaged it to sounding passable.
It's to replace a venerable old AIWA hi-fi that has done 20 years service so can't really complain on that. (Twin tapedecks, triple slot CD player!)
I could have spent more but the limiting factors were (a) Stuff that Currys actually had in stock as I wanted it immediately and (b) Getting something reasonably durable as it's down on the floor so I didn't want anything too small or delicate.
Mrs Hearthly and Jnr watched The Incredibles with the sound going through the hi-fi and pronounced it to have been a satisfying aural experience.
The lights on the front cycle through three different colours.
EDIT - Oh yes the speaker cables are comically short, literally about a metre long, if that.
