The last time I suggested an affordable component and/or system as a great solution for a bedroom or an office or a vacation home, I may have slightly offended the manufacturer because they were aiming for a more ambitious piece of the pie—a spot in a serious listening room. They asked if I could drop the qualifier, and I acquiesced. But I think they shouldn’t discount what I originally said because I think it’s an important talent.

A small, but technology and feature-rich all-in-one component that delivers large and impressive sound at a fraction of its expected price.

Technics have hit a real sweet spot with the SA-C600. It is sensibly featured, easy to use and sounds surprisingly musical
