I am the original owner, I paid maybe close to $250-$300 for this. I used this both as an office system at work, and also in the bedroom at home. Always used in a no-smoke, no-pets environment, and plugged into Panamax surge protectors.
All in all, this is a great little system for a bedroom or office or even out in the garage while you are building that massive new subwoofer enclosure?
All functions seem to work fine, but it did have an issue about a year ago where the motorized CD lid needed a ?helping hand? to open fully. However, it is operating fine now, so no idea if this system fixed itself or what. But I wanted to clarify that this has been the only issue I?ve experienced since the purchase. I've only used this for listening to the tuner and store-bought CDs. I just tried a burned disc but it would not play, so I have to assume that this will not play any home-brew discs. YMMV.
