This hi-fi from LG is simply fantastic.
The first thing to strike you on taking it out of the packaging is the sheer style of the design - the glossy piano black, smoothed corners, and compact, substantial feel. Once hooked up, this continues with the impressive sharp red, touch-sensitive controls.
The real joy begins however, when you pop in a CD to try out. I purchased this to replace a bulky six year old system and the difference in sound quality was unbelievable. Favourite albums revealved secrets in the mix that I'd never heard even through headphones or on friends' more upmarket separates systems. The XDSS bass boost really gets you in the stomach, and is sometimes a little overpowering (but easily switched off). The star feature for me has to be the XTS sound enhancement which seems to make everything sound how the artist would want you to hear it. A real pleasure.
MP3 / WMA CDs play well, and the XTS enhancement really boosts the quality. I haven't yet tried the USB input, but would imagine sound quality is the same.
My only criticisms of this system are minor - The remote control, whilst facile and functional, feels and looks a few degrees 'cheaper' than the system it comes with. Otherwise I'm struggling to think of anything negative.
I've had this hi-fi for two weeks now and couldn't be more pleased. It's a real bargain.
Highly recommended.
