Well, I do look at some Micro Hi-Fi systems and wondering if anyone of you has the Panasonic SC-AKX710 that goes with the following description: https://www.panasonic.com/caribbean/consumer/audio-video/mini-systems/x-powerlive/sc-akx710.html
and a price tag of slightly above €300.


The second option is Panasonic SC-AKX200E with the following description:
https://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/home-entertainment/high-power-audio/sc-akx200e.html
and a price tag of ~€200.


The third option is the Panasonic SC-PM602 with the following description:
https://www.panasonic.com/de/consum...io/kompaktanlagen/micro-systeme/sc-pm602.html
and goes for ~€150.



What are the differences and which one would you take?
Can you recommend?

Neither, all mini and midi systems are cheap rubbish.

Post a thread with a budget and ask people to recommend a good standalone amp and speaker combo, either new or second hand.

I've gone through a few of this kind of system before, and after piecing together my current system for a similar sort of price, there really is no contest.

Absolutely night and day difference.

Thank you for the advice :)
May you share what your current system is?
I haven't set a budget, but preferably a new one and below €500.

TBH, I don't know.

The first one has extremely positive reviews.

Panasonic SC-AKX710:

A lot lot bigger than I expected speakers are as big as player and heavy.. Told it has great output level I don't need that think it's a man thing personally find it ugly.. But can't send back too bulky and the men like it

Absolutely brilliant sound .. can handle bass or the controls allows to customise to your liking

Really loud and clear

Very nice music player

This Panasonic Hi-Fi system is a very powerful sound system which looks top quality and has durable and robust construction as well as some other good features such as Bluetooth connectivity, 4GB internal memory, Pre-set equalizer, USB charging and playback and powerful Airquake Bass.

The sound quality of this stereo system is excellent and the Bass is super powerful and if you are close to the speaker you can feel the Bass pump through your body.

This stereo has Bluetooth connectivity which can be used to connect the stereo to compatible televisions for wireless connectivity and sound reproduction. You can also use compatible Panasonic television remote controls to control the stereo.

The 4GB internal memory is a good feature for me as I can store lots of my music on the stereo and remove the clutter my CD collection was creating.

The Panasonic MAX Juke app is a good feature and can be used to control the Panasonic stereo music from your smartphone. I tested this feature and it worked okay but the App capability is limited.

Worth all your money honestly these speakers are amazing! I’m really into my deep bass and all that and just the bass is crazy on these speakers. The bass really does shake the house/room and basically anything. The Audio is very clear even at high volume. The highs and mids are great and the bass is just next level stuff. I used to have the akx200 so it was a big step up from 400w to 2000w but wow was it the best decision to do and spend my money on. If your looking to get speakers for your room or anything these are what you need for sure without hesitation. This is just my opinion but I’m really into my speakers and sound like I’ve had many stereo systems and Bluetooth portable speakers and so far Panasonic’s stereos have blown Sony, Philips, LG and I’m gonna say it Bose is probably on the same level as these speakers on sound quality and bass. Best speakers I’ve ever owned and Ive had so many brands.

Well, thank you, guys for the advices.
Yes, I so-so understand the quality of the sound.

I need it to have a USB connectivity, and DAB+. The Denon D-M41DAB has no USB port.

The Panasonic SC-PMX84EG has one.

The Panasonics also have some very positive reviews:

In a lot of ways, you can hear where your extra cash has gone with the Panasonic SC-PMX9DB. It’s arguably the most detailed, most composed system we’ve heard near this price, even nudging our Award-winning Denon D-M39DABfor out-and-out insight.

Its midrange is really well judged and its treble stays on the right side of brightness without ever becoming grating.

It goes loud too, with a good stereo image and a big sound that shouldn’t have a problem filling a reasonably large room.

And is only €232.90 compared to €349.00 for the Denon D-M41DAB.

Ok, end of search. I will order the Denon D-M40DAB. Good to know Denon is a Japanese company, had never heard of them.

In the past, I knew the systems with 5-CDs changers (Sony, for instance), etc, also DVD/Blu-ray players with some surround speakers would also playback sound but not at this high level, for sure.

That Denon D-M40DAB is no longer available here.

I am going with the much cheaper and available from dozens of retailers Panasonic SC-PMX84EG instead. :cool:

Not sure where you're based but saw this (not me selling) on AVForums

https://www.avforums.com/threads/denon-dm40-q-acoustics-3010-q-acoustic-stands.2222649/

I had the older Denon DM38 in the kitchen, was a great little unit.

I do hope the guy sells it well.

I will skip the offer because I'm based in Frankfurt, Germany, and I'd like my new equipment to be brand new.
And will try a Panasonic since for a first time, I just need to enter into this world, test it, and only then think about improvements, if necessary.

Thanks, though.
