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This piece is no longer current manufacture, but I found the link below where one is available.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.
