I have thrilled the Ovation CDS 7000 DEC now since 3 weeks and am. The sound is much better than one would expect from a system this size. And the design is just great. Also the USB connection I have to commend here. You can attach a hard disk with MP3 pieces or a MP3 Player with USB port. The price is not cheap, admittedly, but true performance. Who wants or needs no stereo with giant speakers and a number of individual units, should look at this device times and listen vorallen.
