I have a GPX Home Music System, which consists of a 3 CD Carousel Changer, AM/FM Stereo Receiver, and a tape deck. It's lasted several years, sounds great, and has detachable speakers. Nowadays I listen more to MP3s or Ogg Vorbis files (or just use my computer's CD-ROM drive to listen to CDs), so it hasn't gotten much action lately. For around $100, it was a great deal at the time. They make cool stuff.
