Terribly under powered.

Since this is a mini-system I didn't expect it to shake the rafters. However, this system has absolutely no power for even moderate volume. The read-out shows the volume going from 1 (lowest) to 59 (highest). To get any type of reasonable sound level requires a setting of at least 40. For example, playing a well-recorded Diana Krall CD, requires a 45 volume setting. And I'm in a 14' x 13' room. Additionally the speaker drivers are extremely low quality and leave lots to be desired. The tweeter scratches and strains and the mid/bass woofer seems to be gasping for air at any type of reasonable volume. I would hate to hear just the speakers if they were run by an amp with more power. The unit is advertised at 32 wpc, but I suspect this is a laboratory bench reading under ideal conditions. It's surely less than this for the end-user. The unit does have lots of internet connectivity and radio features. But these are useless if you can't get any type of decent sound. It looks like Yamaha put their money into the digital stuff and not the audio parts. I didn't even think about adding a sub-woofer--Why through good money after bad. I've had good experiences with previous Yamaha electronics, but I can't recommend this unit.
