When it launched, the AVJ-X5 heralded an image change for Aiwa. And it's certainly a change for the better; under the tutelage of parent company Sony, this system offers stylish looks at an affordable price.

For the style-conscious buyer the AVJ-X5 fits the bill - Aiwa has revamped its look to stylish effect. It's a smart system with a futuristic feel, designed to appeal to a younger audience - indicated by the fact that it has a karaoke function!

The Aiwa AVJ-X55's mix of black and silver bodywork gives it a muscular feel. What's more, the bookshelf-sized front speakers and large main unit make it more chunky than most systems.
