I have found the sony MHC systems, 50+1 or 60+1 disc players with upgraded speakers not bad. This way the disc storage and handling is solved and there are a variety of continuous play options. On the other hand, taking up a little more space and improving sound quality, I upgraded the bedroom system to an onkyo stereo receiver and pioneer elite 101 disc cd player, both from ebay for just over $200 total. The advantages of the Sony MHC are: size, tape playback & copying which are occasionally useful and full integration. Integration means music radio, sleep timer, musical alarm clock and other features with one remote. The key being what axiom speakers did to the sound. The Sony does a good job in the office where I never have to do anything but touch a button. What we sometimes miss in the bedroom is the musical alarm clock.
