Best Mini-Tower Audio Systems for Small Apartment: Top Options for CD, MP3, Bluetooth & Bass

Hello,
I am looking for a mini tower for an apartment (37 sq m), it will be fixed in a room of 11 sq m. However, I note that sometimes I like to listen to music loudly and I like to hear it properly in the whole apartment.
My previous tower was Panasonic SA-AK300, which had a power of probably 70W. I was pleased with the sound quality and volume. However, this tower often broke down. From such small things as a sensor to the remote control to the current laser, maybe something more, because he does not read (see) the discs. I know it's old equipment, but I didn't use it that much. Anyway, I was a little offended by Panasonic. I would prefer something different company.

Requirements:
- clean good sound and nice bass (I would prefer it to sound at least as good as my old one, but rather towards better, because it wasn't crazy)
- good volume
- CD support
- MP3 format support from discs
- Bluetooth connectivity (I often connect my smartphone and do it on a cable, it would be nice to do it wirelessly)
- elegant look, silver / white, black (from the models I chose it will be known)
- it must be new, unused
- Apple compatibility is definitely a plus
- it happens that I have FLACi and Appleloseless but I never recorded it on discs so support for these formats is not necessary

In general, I hesitate between these:
http://www.mediaexpert.pl/mikro-i-mini-wieze/wieza-sony-cmt-sbt100,id-372027 (inexpensive, I like it visually. Affordable price, but I'm worried about the quality of the sound. however, quite an old model, and 50W, I don't know if it will be enough.I'm not sure if it supports mp3 from discs or only from USB.and it has a single audio input, I don't know if the double ones are not better)

http://www.euro.com.pl/zestawy-muzyczne/panasonic-sc-pmx80eg-s.bhtml (although panasonic seems to be the best value for money, a lot of positive feedback on sound. but only 12 months of buzz at the manufacturer, although I know that there is incompatibility with the contract. It seems like the perfect model for me but somehow I do not want another panasonic and it is the ugliest of the models I chose, the nasty sharp-edged speakers)
http://www.euro.com.pl/zestawy-muzyczne/panasonic-sc-pmx82eg-s.bhtml (version with better radio, although I don't listen at all lately. unless there is a difference in them)

http://www.euro.com.pl/zestawy-muzyczne/yamaha-pianocraft-mcr-n470d-s SILVER.bhtml (here I would focus on sound quality, although 40W is probably not enough, so I may not need it at all. But I read a lot of good things about the towers of this manufacturer. Unfortunately, I can't afford it stronger)

http://www.euro.com.pl/zestawy-muzyczne/denon-rcd-m40dab-sotne-sc-m40-czarny.bhtml (I do not know this manufacturer completely, maybe someone will comment on the quality of sound, failure frequency, servicing in PL. I see that there is no bluetooth, so unless it stood out from all the others by a plus, probably not too)

http://www.euro.com.pl/zestawy-muzyczne/denon-rcd-m40dab-srebr-sc-m40-wisniowy.bhtml (as above)

I know that prices are very different, but mainly I care about installments not exceeding PLN 50 (Yamaha falls off a bit here, unless it's really worth it). Generally, I hesitate most between Sony and Panasonic. But I still consider the rest.

Thank you in advance for every hint

choose between Yamaha and Denon The rest you can give yourself even while listening is a waste of time.

I support. Be sure to listen to both because they sound quite different.

what does it mean that they sound quite different?

And if I decided on yamaha, 40W will not be too weak?

Not enough but not

Then you will certainly understand what I meant. It can't be explained otherwise.

Ok, now I hesitate between this yamaha and http://www.mediaexpert.pl/mikro-i-mini-wieze/wieza-denon-ceol-rcd-n9-bialy-sc-n9,id-661186? gclid & gclsrc COui9YLTxNQCFUyBsgodRPQPTA = = = aw.ds & DCLID CIa7m4PTxNQCFRzFsgodKTsJJg

In one store that sells both gentlemen told me better yamaha because denon is not really "such a disco". But they didn't have a comparison, so I couldn't. The second thing is that this yamaha was not connected to these original speakers only better:] + PLN 400
Then I was in the denon salon - nicer denon is for sure I would even say that this Yamaha I like visually on average. Denon, of course, also did not have the original speakers only better (+ PLN 600) and they actually played great (for my inexperienced ear ...) but the man from Denon himself said that "Yamaha is for those who value sound" or something in this desense, and " denon pleases the eye and can please the ear " all in all it looks like i need 3 tiles for luck and i started with 1 xD

Of course, I am not an audiophile and the difference between yamaha and denon I did not see too much, I liked the denon more but it was different rooms, different music, better speakers in both cases than those that I got at the start.

So I still don't know what to choose ... help

I decided to go to one more center where I will have both towers, take my CD with me and check which one sounds better. I calculated that when I order through Allegro, both options with better speakers will close to PLN 2,400.
Thank you very much for your help. if anyone had any other reflections, please feel free

I will make a purchase tomorrow at the earliest

Hello
I remind you that soon analog FM transmitters will disappear so it would be good to look for something with DAB + and possibly Internet radio. You can discard the tuner without it.

Soon? Ie?

So denon would have a big minus here.
All in all, I haven't really listened to the radio at all for years. I just don't like it. But in fact who knows what will change in man. It is a pity because I almost leaned towards Denon

As I know more expensive Philips models, it's 100% worth listening to: Philips BTD7170

I do not say - buy but listen, compare with others.

Hello
I apologize for the delay, but it's hard to write on the phone.
31/12/2020 will be full DAB + coverage in Poland.
As you can see on the example of TV, the withdrawal from the analogue was sudden and comprehensive, once I saw the dates of the full transition to DAB +, now I can not come across them.
I heard the difference on good equipment between analog and DAB +, it would be hard for me to accept the analog after hearing the digital transmission.
greetings

thank you for the info. However, I guess I will finally choose Denon, especially since I found an attractive offer with Zensor 1 speakers. As I said, I don't listen to the radio at all, and if it changes, I will have to settle for internet radio
I have already listened to both sets (currently I choose between Yamaha PianoCraft MCR-N570 and Denon Ceol 9 only with Zensor 1 speakers) and I think I liked the Denon game more. Only that I listened to Yamaha on N470 speakers. N570 was listening to another song. so it's really hard for me to compare. It's very subjective and depends on so many variables
Visually, I like Denon more, but I think I have more confidence in Yamaha. I am curious how both models deal with wireless connectivity, but I will probably check it at home ...

Ok, I ordered a denon, so don't write now that it's better to take Yamaha

I won't write, I promise But please, describe your experience of listening to the purchased equipment.

welcome back
So I am delighted with the tower and its sound. For now I have basic cables and no connectors, but the difference compared to my old one is huge!
sound that is cleaner and deeper. I rediscover old records
When it comes to wireless connectivity, everything went smoothly and without problems. The only thing is when I switch songs from the phone to wifi it is a slight delay. But otherwise everything is great. Denon is really easy and fun to use. And it looks beautiful ^^

I just have a question about cables and plugs. Well, I didn't know it was such an expensive deal, heh. And as I bought the equipment 3 times more expensive than intended ... with this expense I will have to hold back a bit ... I have a Monster Standard cable from Denon salon and without plugs. I thought about buying the following for now:
http://allegro.pl/wtyk-bananowy-prolink-tbc054-glosnikowy-i6483091157.html I need them 8. And I wonder if they are enough? Is it better to buy something better right away?
Maybe you will propose something? Of course, I don't know it at all, so I have the question if I can put it on myself

I'd rather buy these http://allegro.pl/wtyki-bananowe-banany-jantzen-audio-bfa-4mm-extra-i6729982348.html

thank you and they have any markings are they red or white does it matter? And do I need anything else to put them on?

No markings are needed, but if you need it you can wear thermo-shrinking shirts in any color. You will also need an allen key available at every DIY store.
