STRENGTHS:
Amazingly good sound from such a small unit. Chock-full of features that leave you wanting for nothing.


WEAKNESSES:
There is mechanical noise from the CD/DVD that can disrupt low-volume listening if you're close to the unit. Also, the CD/DVD transport seems to run even though I have pushed "stop" on the menu. HD reception on AM is easily interfered with (e.g., a nearby computer).


REVIEW:
This beautiful well-designed, full-featured unit is a great addition to my office. It's small footprint allows you to put it almost anywhere; its good looks, however, beg for an elegant setting.

The sound quality of the I-Sonic is first-rate. It's simply amazing that a unit of this size can sound this good--even at room-filling volume. The bass is plentiful and natural, not "thunky."

It's great to have so many features; it doesn't leave you wanting. The inclusion of HD Radio is forward-looking, and the fact that it's XM-ready is great. It has a nice, cool-blue very readable display and even a 24-hour clock. Nice touch.

There's nothing else like it available today. I couldn't be happier.
