Mini-systems

Does anyone here have a mini-system at home or in the office that they can recommend? I need something with either one or two alarms that will also compliment a modern bedroom. In other words, I'd like to avoid those garish Aiwa units you see at Best Buy that look like they deserve their own X-File. Something elegant, preferably brushed aluminum/stainless steel, with nice grill covers and of course, good quality sound...

Thanks all,
Brian

If you are looking for cheap, look at the JVC units that are about the size of...well...for lack of other brand name, the bose wave radio. I'm pretty sure they have an alarm and look fairly decent.

The best sounding mini-system ever available from the company and series that started the fine mini-system phenomenon, JVC FS-7000.


This piece is no longer current manufacture, but I found the link below where one is available. I bought mine off of Ebay for $200. The bass enhancement circuit on this piece is the best implementation of such that I've heard allowing a full, tonally tuneful reinforcement at lower volumes. The 3 Gain settings allows you to taylor the full adjustment of the volume control for the particular volume level you wish to listen. For instance at lower listening one can select the -12db setting and have very fine adustment over the whole volume controls range of varied quieter levels.
