Hands-on with the Philips MCM770 hi-fi: Baby of the bunch

Sat playing with rattles and train sets in the corner is the baby of the new hi-fis in Philips' Heritage series of home audio systems -- the MCM770.

It holds the entry-level tag of the three models we've looked at today, but follows in its older brothers' footsteps in terms of design and target market.

Its cute, traditional aluminium hi-fi design sits between a pair of solid wooden speaker enclosures, housing a two-way drive system. It'll output a total of 30W per channel and in our brief listening session it was clearly an entry-level system, with a mostly mid-range-driven sound, but a pleasant one nonetheless -- as long as the price is right.

Availability and exact prices are yet to be disclosed, but, like the rest of the new Heritage hi-fis, we'd expect it to be in shops by Christmas, hopefully not breaking the £180 mark. -Nate Lanxon
