Summary: Good Looks, Good Sound, Good Purpose
Review: - This system has great sound for what I want it to do. I have it in my dorm room which is not the hugest room ever so therefore bass travles and thats something I don't want as well. This system sounds great and also goes well with the looks of my DVD player and TV.
- Which also I have set up together therefor the sound is quite nice for what I need.
- Very customizable can suite any type of enviroment
- Like the Remote easy to use and small.
- Only down side when you do turn up the system a lound whirl noise is heard from the the amp cooling fan which can be annyoing... but if you have the stereo loud you can't really hear it.
- Great for Dorm Rooms, Bed Rooms, Den's or any room where not alot of bass is needed

Summary: Aiwa is always good on looks but not great on sound.
Review: Aiwa has always had this problem where they make these amazing looking systems yet the sound of the system is horrible. I am very well trained when it comes to sound and have heard some of the best (Bose,Infinity,Jabo, Denon, etc.). Aiwa on the other hand, is more towards "I want something nice looking in my room." and it does a well job of doing that. The system is compact, easy to use, and looks just amazing. Its customizable in so many ways from the speaker grills to the color of the lcd screen. However, went it comes to sound, this product does not perform like an executive system should.
When I think of executive system, Im thinking of a top-quality hi-fi system in a small, convenient, and beautiful package. First of all, the speakers in this system are not even made of wood, they are made of plastic, which is the #1 enemy of sound. Also, there is NO bass at all. I put the bass all the way up on this system only to here a small "putt-putt" sound from the rear of the system. Not only is the bass too low, but the tweeters are too high. You can here EVERY SOUND, including the background hiss of the radio and the irritatingly high pitched vibrations of acoustic guitars.
If you want great sound, I would recommend any system by Panasonic. I have owned a panasonic micro system for 2 years now and I still love it. Talk about bass and treble, this thing is perfect. And its serious hi-fi too. Heres how you can tell: General electronic manufacturers such as JVC, Sony, RCA, Sharp, and so on always put some sort of cheap "EQ preset" into their system such as Rock or Jazz. Real systems only have treble and bass, the basic components of sound. If your executive system has this (some JVC systems do) I would say you made a good choice.

Summary: Great "bang-for-the-buck" for an executive micro system
Review: I am very impressed with the sound of the XR-X7. This unit offers contemporary styling, several features and crystal clear sound usually found on much more expensive systems. I would say if you are looking for a "kathump-kathump" sound then the XR-X7 is probably not for you. (There is a sub-woofer jack in the back of the unit if more bass is desired, I do not use it.) If you like clarity in your music with accurate bass, then you will love this unit. The unit sounds excellent with CD's but is most impressive with satellite radio. Corner placement really brings the subtleties and definition of the sound alive. I would have given the unit 5 stars except for one feature I felt was frivolous. I feel the screen color adjustment (12 of them) should be traded for a balance control.

Summary: Good looks and great sound...
Review: I found this little Aiwa Xr-X7 and figured it would be great. It has a crisp, clear sound and is great for a small room. I definitely recommend it to others. The surround sound is great because it brings out alot of unheard qualities in cd's.

Review: I recently bought an AIWA XR-7. The saleman tried to talk me into buying the AIWA 60 watt powered subwoofer, but I thought he was just trying to sell me something. I should have listened a little closer to what he was saying.

The XR-7 (without the subwoofer) is perfect for a small room, an office or a dorm room. It's sound is crisp and clear. I love the surround sound feature and the T-Bass modes. However to really fill out the sound you need the subwoofer. If you play your music soft and low, you don't need the subwoofer.

Would I recommend the XR-7? You bet!

Did I mention it looks great.

Summary: Looks good
Review: Looks great, runs great, easy on space, weak in the sound area. I haven't tried the separate bass speaker yet but it definitely needs help.

I like the EQ Surround sound which adds a lot of depth to the sound.

For my purposes I don't need a great sound so it fills my needs perfectly.
