This compact system built into the wall mounted cabinet allows me to enjoy the music without disturbing anyone who not allways shares your music pasion (especially late in the night).
I'm plannig to add speakers/amp some time later but, as my audio-buddies say, I would have to work hard and invest rather long green, to keep the same level of playback fidelity and musical enjoyment.
