highly recommended

Let me explain what I don't like about the SC-AK33, the fatal flaw is its 5-CD Changer, if you ever tried it before in stores, you know what I am talking about, it just plain ...! It's slow and makes loud noise, and you can't exchange CD while the CD is playing, if its CD changer is like JVC or Philips, I would probably buy this Panasonic system! Even this system's bi-amp bi-wire with buidt-in super woofer drive configuration can't save this fatal flaw.

I almost bought the JVC MX-G50, but the final look at this system turns my stomech, I mean maybe I am just not ready for that kind of fancy or should I say ugly look. It got bi-amp, bi-wired Hyper woofer drive, so what, the speaker grills are not removable, come on, I like to show off my speaker, what good will it do if the grills are not removeable?

That only leaves me the Philips FWC550, wow, it got a future looks, plus it has a black color, it offers the same audio power as the Panasonic SC-AK33 and JVC MX-G50 at 240 watt, I really don't care if it's bi-amp or bi-wire or not, in fact it is not, well, that's not important, because at 240 watt of muisc power, you really can't tell the system is bi-amped or not.

One thing I want to point out first because I read lot of reviews online and they all gave the wrong size of the woofer in this system: the size of the woofer is 6.5 inch, not 5.25 inch as claimed in those online reviews!

This system got the richest sound effects I've ever seen, it got MAX sound, DSC(digital, rock, pop, new age, classic, electric), VAC(hall, concert, cinema, disco, arcard, cyber), DBB(beat, punch, blast), IS(incredible surround).

The bass this system produced is very loud, dare I say it's louder than Panasonic SC-AK33, and same as JVC MX-G50's, it's just SonicBooms I am hearing... I tried to keep the bass down in case my neighbors complaining... So if you are in the market for a new audio system, this is one to get, and get it before you neighbers do!

Just Plain Good

I have the old version of the Panasonic SC-AK77 Shelf System and it has the best sound available in a shelf system and everyone knows about the CD changer, the way its slow, loud, and did I say slow. I was looking for a newer system because I listen to alot of music and burn my own Cds. I always look in the electronics section in Target and other stores to see if any new systems have came out. And when I saw this system I knew it was something new so I had to listen to it, and to tell the truth right when I turned it on I knew it was a good system and I turned off and the other systems because they wasn't near as good. And now I want to replace my, ever loved, Panasonic but the one flaw I saw with the Philips FWC550 was that it didn't have Dolby Pro Logic like the Panasonic SC-AK77 and there is a wattage difference but overall I think Panasonic's got alot of work to do to keep up with their new competitor because I can't wait to see if they come out with a bigger version that will completely out do the more advanced Panasonic SC-AK77.

Amazing Sound

If you're looking for crazy sound, you've found you're system. This puppy has volume up too 40 and when I reached the tenth notche it was too loud for in the store. I'm tellin' you it's well worth it.

Stunning Sound for so little money!

After reading the reviews, I decided to investigate the unit further, since I need to replace my aging JVC bedroom unit. I burned a copy of Lee Ritenour's "The Collection" CD (my favorite reference disk) and took it to the electronics store. Lo and Behold! The FWC550 brings out the best from the CD....from the thumping electric bass to the crisp guitar riffs and everything in between. I thought I was hearing the music from FLOOR STANDING speakers! Philips means it when they say 240 Watts! The ulimate sound setting is the combination of DBB-"BLAST" and DSC-"ROCK". Needless to say, I bought a set right away without hesitation. I must say it sounded even better in my room. The only thing missing was Dolby NR for the cassette and direct track access number keys on the remote......This has to be the best buy of the year! Absolutely Stunning!
