For £100 you're never going to get audiophile-standard sound quality, but the Panasonic SC-EN38 is still a good value micro system
If you're on a budget this is a great little versatile system - pay more for a jump in sound quality
The Mi is packed with useful features and sounds great, too - a real winner
An alternative to the ubiquitous iPod and dock, the Brennan's well worth investigating
The Pioneer PDX-Z9 is an innovative idea, full of useful features, and comes in a tidy little package. It's a one-box hi-fi with digital amplification, SACD playback, internet and FM radio and home networking capability
Plenty to offer but has simply been pipped at the post by a superior sounding rival
This Onkyo micro is cracking function-per-pound value
The extra outlay for the iPod dock seems fair to us, while everything else about this system remains top drawer
It may have a silly name but this one-box CD receiver is a delight
All-in one CD/DAB/iPod dock system, with a warm, lush and slightly reserved sound
There was a gap between the micro system and 'proper' hi-fi separates - consider it filled by the excellent Reference 600
