Eileen: Do you mean the *Sharp* MD-X5? If so, it's an OK unit. We got one
for $99 and it's definitely worth that. I don't know if I'd pay more than
$150 or so for it.
How much are you looking to spend? As far as MD minisystems go, I've
mentioned on the list before that my personal favorite (by far) is the
JVC FSMD9000. It lists for $770, but I've seen it for around $220 - $270.
It looks very nice, has all the usual functionality,and is the
best-sounding mini-system I've heard.
