Advantages: Excellent sound quality for the price
Disadvantages: For this price.... NONE!

...These were replacement speakers for some poor quality JVC speakers I had. They're run of a Sony CD headunit (4*50W) with standard speaker wire. With the cost being under £40 for a set of 6*9s I wasn't expecting anything spectacular but boy was I in for a surprise!! The quality of sound between the JVCs & Sony was just unbelievable. The JVCs gave very poor bass & when you increased the volume, it just distorted. But with these Sony X-plods the bass is good enough for me to get the regular unapproving look from elderly passers-by & the treble/vocals is perfectly audible even with the speakers near their limits. I play all sorts of music on them from Dance to Pop to Rock & it handles them all perfectly. Even though I can only turn my headunit up about a 1/3 of maximum, this is plenty loud enough to feel the bass in your back. Although... Read review

...on a shopping trip, or had had their credit card scanned or even used a 'touch-screen' monitor for map reading, or purchasing items, have at some point been in 'touch' with Archos, without knowing it. **- Historical fact -** While setting up Archos, Frenchman, Henri Crohas, decided to use an anagram of his surname that incorporated a global recognition of a pioneering establishment during the 'yuppy' image conscious 1980's> Crohas >became > Archos. - The Online store - The URL for the global market leader is: http:// www.archos.com The site is one of the biggest in global features I've seen. It reminds me of Sony's site yet has not got the marketing savvy. The choices of languages are endless. Archos's have reached all corners of the globe. A boasts a great portfolio of retailers. - The Archos Gmini XS100 3GB (100 for short) and the extras... Read review

Advantages: a very pleasant smell
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...I first tried this perfume when I got a small gift set for Christmas, and XS was one of the little bottles that was in the box. And I must say, I fell in love with it straight away. I think it's one of those smells that no one can say about 'ewe, I don’t like that' because it a very pleasant, not a 'strong' smell. It is an original, light scent that is not fruity/flower, neither is it a soapy smell. The perfume would suit anyone as the smell isn't too sweet or old, and it stays on for long enough, and is also a very distinguishing smell. The bottle is a very strict original design, and it looks expensive. So if you're thinking which perfume to get for your lady/daughter/sister, you wont go wrong with XS.... Read review

Advantages: It's immense size and from a market leading brand.
Disadvantages: not easily affordable.

...felt the need. Another big plus for this TV is that it's made by one of the biggest names in electrical goods, Sony. There's a lot of great TVs around these days that I must say look great from a far, but on closer inspection you discover the manufacturer is someone like "Beko" or "Toshiba" what, at all, are they? They just don't sound as good as been able to say "I own a huge flat screen, Sony, plasma TV." But as you would expect, with a Sony TV comes with a nice big Sony price, retailing at around £2500 its great if the money is flowing like wine, very fine, vintage wine. But if not then this may take a little saving up or "switching of funds" that or a hell of a lot of review writing on here! The only possible disadvantage is that this TV isn't always available to the average John Smith (no offence John) aside from this fact you should... Read review
