Yes, I had heard that Panasonic had lifted their game with regard to
their Micro systems.
I'm sorry you had difficulty with the TSX-140, I still have my Yamaha
TSX-130 here and wouldn't part with it.
Regarding the Panasonic I had been thinking of buying it had nice extras
like Bluetooth though Panasonic had taken some shortcuts.
For example, the Panasonic model I have talks about Internet Radio? Yes,
it does have that though you have to use the IOS Panasonic App with your
IOS device connected to bluetooth to get it working, that alone didn't
worry me however what did annoy me was that the Panasonic app which
tunes the Internet radio and controls many of the Panasonic's features
was inaccessible, so much for that!
Quality from Bluetooth streaming is okay! but still nowhere near as good
as what you'll get from an "Airplay" System.
With the Panasonic I had there was no indication as to what sort of
amplifier it was using, whether that be digital or anoalogue, I know my
Yamaha uses a digital.
Anyway was disappointed with the Panasonic I had so didn't go any
further with the purchase and thankfully I was able to try it before
handing over any money.
Again I stress that this was just one model I tried and what Panasonic
models are available here are certainly different to what may be
available else where.
Now my opinion on the best sounding Desktop Hi-Fi system? No going past
the Bose range, yep you pay for them but you hear the difference, just
unreal.
Second to that are Altec Lansing, both Bose and Altec Lansing blow the
common house-hold brands out of the race and so they ought to with the
prices charged <smile>, just proves you pay for quality most of the time.

Hi all
This is just based on my initial findings.. However, I wanted to post to see
if anybody is interested before I go further.
So, here goes. Just before Christmas Lynne bought us a Yamaha TSX-140 desktop
audio system. Unfortunately, that system went wrong and, after a protracted
dispute with the Amazon seller she bought it from, we eventually got our money
back.
On Thursday of this week, Lynne and I went to a local retail store and started
looking around at their range of available systems, of which their were many.
Eventually we opted to chance our arm on a Panasonic system. This particular
system was priced at 90 Pounds less than Lynne paid for the Yamaha, although in
all fairness I later found the Yamaha on a different site for the same price as
the Panasonic. Anyway, feature-wise, the Panasonic blows the Yamaha out of the
water, just as it does in terms of design and the sound of its audio
reproduction. I'll list more if anybody is interested. But I'm very pleased
with our investment.
