Simple thread.

I have one, but have only used it as room candy as of the past year or so. If I wanted to use a box it was either the M50 or Sony CFS-500. Today I got off my ass and tried out the Panasonic again and whoa! Forget the M50 for sound. I like its looks, but the Panasonic is just sooo much better.

Imagine only wearing glasses after living half your life with bad vision. I forgot how good it sounded!

If you have one, love it! If you don't have one, buy it!

I was sad to sell mine off. I just didn't give it the love it deserved. Great box!

Heck yes it's clean!

Figured I'd post a pic of mine as it currently sits pumping out the tunes. Don't mind the radio parts to the left; it's just my M71 resurection still a bit dead for now haha.

It's been on my radar for about a year now. What I've always appreciated it that the tweeter grills aren't suffocating the speakers. They match the woofer grills. Scored styling points with me. :cool:

I had VERY little love for this box originally.

I mean, I liked the looks, but I had no faith in the midsize National Panasonics in general.

Then I got one of these off RockE. As soon as I heard it, my opinion changed DRAMATICALLY.

This box is a true example of something sounding much better than it seems it could possibly be capable of.

I'd rate this box equal to if not better than similar sized Aiwas and Superscopes.

Perfect sound balance and decent power. It's not in the same volume league of the M70, but the soundstage on lower levels is really astounding.

This should be at or near the top of everyone's midsize-want-list.



Rock On.
