Using electronic consumer goods maker names like Sony, Philips, Aiwa, Samsung might be construed as a blasphemy on an audiophile forum.
But then, the question lingers in my mind.
1. How bad are these audio systems compared to say entry level audiophile gear.
Say:
MHC-GNZ777D : Mini Hi-Fi System : Hi-Fi System : Sony India (INR 13K)
compared to Norge 4242 + Norge MD75 (INR 13500)
2. How would the system perform, if I replace the stock speakers with Some audiophile grade entry level speakers - say Wharfedale 9.2, etc ...
I know that the second question might not be feasible to answer because you need to have both the system at your disposal to test.
But for the first question, I guess I can expect an answer.
The problem is that you may be able to audition the Norge+Norge combo, however auditioning a mass consumer product like Sony or Philips happens only at crowded showrooms, where you really cannot make out the clarity in bass/midrange. At most you can just make out whether the bass is boomy or the treble is screechy.
