If Your Budget is $200 Buy This One!

This is the best deal I could find for the money any place. Great looks, clean sound with very good bass (even without the subwoofer turned on), and very clear FM on my favorite station (which my roommate's Bose doesn't get this clear). Low distortion when cranked up. I like the fact that there aren't 2 dozen buttons on the thing to control it, which gives it a simple, clean, and classy look. The remote works well at wide angles and is laid out in an intuitive manner (and comes with batteries). Last, andnot least, it's a Sony. So what are you waiting for?
