Philips MZ-7 is a very well-rated mini system with high-quality 3-way speakers with a removable network. The advantage of the system is the appearance and quality sound, the possibility of connecting a subwoofer, line-out output, e.g. to connect a CD recorder. Another audio source (another CD player, PC, mobile phone, etc.) can be connected via the AUX input.
