Aiwa NSX-MT725 Digital Mini Theater System

Pros: I can hear
Cons: If I am listening, the whole neighborhood can hear

. . . “To Mom & Dad, a Christmas Hearing Aid!” A piece of red yarn tethered the handwritten note to the green bow on the large, gaily decorated box next to the tree. Now I am hard of hearing, but my bride can hear a snore before it...

Pros: incredibly loud, great options
Cons: I disturb the peace often

I bought this system for myself 2 Thanksgivings ago for about $300, and it was probably the best $300 I have ever spent. The hours and hours of solid sounding music I get out of this machine on a consistent basis is worth its weight in gold... but...

Pros: Looks and sounds great!
Cons: Very loud... almost too loud at times

PART ONE -- the early days

I just bought this mini system two days ago. This is the first stereo I have ever purchased for myself, but is probably the tenth stereo I have owned.

This mini system has a sort of double edged...

Pros: great sound, low price, useful features
Cons: a little lacking on FM reception, need to add a subwoofer for truly great sound

I currently own two Aiwa stereo systems, and I love both of them. I purchased my first one about 6 years ago, and it's still going strong. After being sold by Aiwa's strong sound and good value, 2 years ago I purchased an older version of the MT725....

Pros: Good sound, offers dolby, surround, and other modes, 3 disc CD-changer, fiber optic port for digital recording
Cons: Surround very demanding of it's environment, sometimes bad FM reception

I bought this Aiwa stereo because my brother had a similar model and I liked the things that came with it, such as a sub-woofer, 3 disc CD-changer, 2 tape decks, and a fiber optic cable port to connect to my minidisc player. I also liked the idea of...

Pros: 5.1 analog in, amazing sound and realism
Cons: non

I love Aiwa, ever since I had my first Aiwa 10 years ago I won't go with anything else in my house. They make the absolute best stereos and this is the prime example. I have the Model 720 (same as the 945 just 1 year older), and it is amazing. It...

Pros: big sound for a reasonable price
Cons: radio/remote

I have always been interested in good sound going back to my high school days when I played in some cheesy garage bands (hey, can everybody just stay on the beat...it's AC/DC, not Mozart, ok?) and my first real piece of stereo equipment, an Alpine car...

Pros: affordable, great sound and easy to use
Cons: Heavy, slow starting up when turn power on

There is something special about Aiwa mini systems, their BAD ASS. Since I owned one for almot 6 years, I thought about getting a new one, so I did. Now I thought through what I wanted: 3 cd player changer, lots of power, tape deck, and good quality...

Pros: very nice looking, feature filles, very loud!
Cons: none

This minisystem was purchased by me only because I needed a CD changer, good tape deck, and a digital tuner in my audio system. The speakers on this are very good sounding, but are loud! That's not really a bad thing considering you have a volume...

Pros: sound
Cons: reception

This is another outstanding Aiwa product and I just love this. Well first the sound is just great and the quality of it is good. The surround sound is also a key part to the quality of sound you get out of this. Another great feature is the 3 cd changer,...

Pros: It has amazing sound
Cons: there isnt any

This Aiwa cd player is amazing. When I first heard the sound out of this player I couldnt believe how powerfull a small cd player was. If you are thinking about buying a new sterio I suggest buying the Aiwa NSX-MT725. This sterio has everything you...

Pros: Looks, Sound, Quality, Name, Sound, Sound and Sound.
Cons: None

I don't know how I could have possibly enjoyed televison before I purchased this system a week ago. This baby sold at my Circuit City for $429.99. Wal-mart sold them for $389.00. I, being a nurse, could not afford to blow that kinda money. I had looked...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Cheap sounding!

OK, so I'm not an audiophile. I'm not rich, either. Can't someone of modest means find a nice, decent-sounding mini-system for under $200? I thought I had when I bought the AIWA NSX-AJ14, but I was wrong. (My mother always said you get what you pay...

Pros: Very good sound!
Cons: CD player always breaks on me!

The body style is very nice. Let me also tell you that it can live through small kids and animals.... The sound is great also. Read my review on the rest of it...

I love the sound on Aiwa, but everytime I buy one the cd player always breaks...

Pros: Great sound, many functions, expandable, good price.
Cons: No Re-write function.

When shopping for a stereo I was prepared to spend upwards of $700. I researched many to brands like Sony and Pioneer, and then went shopping. After listening to nearly every stereo I could I settled on the Aiwa. Though it was much less expensive than...
