Sony CMT-CX5BiPB Micro Hi-Fi

The unit is a bit smaller than I expected. Good thing, too, because we actually had to take away some family photos on top of the TV stand to make room for it. Retails for $249, bought it online for much less than that.

What I like about it:

• Wall mountable - not like I'm gonna put nails into my wall to mount it.
• Digital radio - reception not too good in our area, but it works.
• Nice, clean, crisp sound quality.
• iPod connectivity. Now, my iPod nano with the broken screen can get some use.
• 3 x iPod universal dock adapters provided. None of which fits my 4th-gen iPod or 4th-gen iPod nano.
• Top slot-loading CD drive - a space saver.

Cons:

• No USB input support
• Speakers not attachable to the main unit
• Rear connectivity area (for power, audio in, and L/R speakers) too cramped
• Doesn't support the 4th-gen iPod classic, even though it's "Made for iPod and iPhone"
• No AM band support
