I love 3 piecers too , but little annoying - WHY THEY DONT MADE EM ALL like Hitachi TRK 9140 - no wires when connected to the body - hard joints instead (and wires get in use just when needed and can be taken out from the compartments). It is really great design and really cant see why others didnt used this Anyway im keeping my 3 piecers all the time connected, but still lot better sound from one piecers . IMHO some of the so called 3 piecers are one piecers with the option - the speakers can be taken in distance if we will. Who have 9140 or 9150 know what im talking about .
