What are the opinions about Akai boxes? I got one mono. It's well build but sounds awefully bad. Have seen a couple for sale here and they seem to be quit popular

Akai boxes all seem to be excellent, they're quite rare compared to other models but we've yet to hear bad reports.  The later 3-piece boxes aren't great by comparison to their earlier efforts.  I have the below mono box somewhere, I can't remember the model number but it's as good as any.
