JAMO Aesthetic A 102 HCS 10

Excellent sound: stereo and surround. Superb integration of sats and sub. Colourful, vibrant images. Compact system. MP3 and DivX compatible.

Lacking lower-mid response. No digital outputs. MP3 playback can be flaky. No headphone jack. Occasional pixilation.

An all-rounder DVD system that offers excellent value for money, but if MP3 features or HDMI matter to you most it may pay to hold off a little longer.
