European Compact System 2011-2012 - Philips MCi8080 + NP3700

As an evolution of its Streamium series, Philips has added touchscreen operation and a pair of rather impressive loudspeakers to create a multiroom music system from its MCi8080 and NP3700. A DVD player is included for the main room while, in up to five separate zones, it delivers audio from a variety of sources including internet/FM radio and DLNA streaming from a home network. Included in the package is a 160GB external USB drive for storing your personal music and photos. At its heart is a 2x50W Class D amplifier, ushering an exceptionally smooth and detailed sound from the speaker’s glass-fibre bass/mid and top-mounted treble units. And the icing on Philips’ cake – you can control this system via free Android and iPhone apps.
