If you had to choose between the following two stereo's, which would you choose?
SONY PANASONIC
Which one and why [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
Basic difference between them thats in what I'm looking for is 20 watts & 50 bucks. Sony is $300, 400watt system. (I've had a chance to hear this one in action too) Panasonic is $350 with 420 watts. Both are MP3 Compatible.
Seeing as I'm moving out in the very near future I want a nice stereo that can also hook up to a tv, yes I'm aware it probably contradicts my thread on making my own stereo, but I figure in the end its gonna cost the same amount of money and if I were to get a car later down the road I have to take all taht apart and put the gear in the car. So I'm tryin to keep 2 & 2 separate if possible.
Basically want a stereo that has a sub, is 400+watts 500 would be AWESOME lol Plays Mp3's remote is a plus, and looks cool. Not an ugly piece of junk.

Those wattage ratings are, at best, as optimistic as a head-unit rating.

And That's not somethin I want until I'm settled in with someone and when it comes down to that I'll have a stereo tv system and then the stereo audio separate.
Stereo is only goin in an apartment and/or bedroom. As of right now its just roommates and I'm still in school for at least another half a year.

You will be happier with a dedecated home theatre reciever dvd player, etc than a "shelf system". My sister has a Sony shelf system and its comparable to the ones you posted, and its only so-so.
Home theatre recievers aren't also that expensive ($200 starting at Futureshop for a decent one) and will give you alot more performance for your buck versus a shalf system.
Do it once and do it right. [img]smile.gif[/img]

As stated above, those power ratings do not mean f*** all, here are some other options:
