The term "a piece" should be taken quite literally here, as this microsystem consists of two speakers and a centrally located CD receiver of exactly the same size, which merge into a visually seamless unit when placed horizontally.

Of course, the two two-way speakers can also be set up vertically and separately – just as you prefer. The features strike a clever balance between modern capabilities and classic user comfort: DAB and FM provide radio reception – conveniently accessible at the push of a button with a total of 40 station presets. If you want an even larger selection, TuneIn internet radio offers thousands of stations. Similarly, specific music requests can be easily fulfilled: just insert your favorite CD and press play. You can also stream music from your phone via Bluetooth to the system.

Alternatively, plug a USB stick with MP3s into the front USB port. If that's still not enough, sign up for Spotify – and access its music archive of over 25 million tracks. In any case, you will be surprised at how effortlessly the X-CM66D fills your living room with music, or even your bedroom, where the X-CM66D can also utilize its individually programmable alarm function.
