Exactly what I was looking for

I reckon how much you'll like this system depends on what you're looking for; for me, it was exactly what I was looking for: a system with excellent sound, easy use, small size for a small space, attractive enough to sit quietly in my humble abode and provide music while I work. It's simple but exquisite. I love basic that = just what I need. This product does that. And at a price I can afford.

Pure Stereo Sound, Sleek Little System.

Bought for the improvised bedroom/office in Mom and Dad's house out in the suburbs where where I'm riding out the pandemic; I love my far larger and more powerful "audiophile" stereo system in my now unused apartment in the big city and had not been expecting much here. To my very pleasant surprise, am also loving this small system, pure, clean stereo sound, almost shocking quality for speakers and electronics of this size and at this price... no noticable distortion, solid-enough bass with just a touch of "brightness" adds verve to the listening experience without sacrificing tonal integrity; enjoying everything from Abbey Road to Kind of Blue to Chopin Nocturnes as, like everyone else, I hunker down for a long winter. Terrifically easy setup with all necessary wires included and easy to connect. Tuner's reception for FM radio especially impressive, favorite station for classical music, often static-ridden on conventional radios, comes in crystal clear. CD player easy to use/performs flawlessly and remote control works very well. Oh, and the system has a very sleek look, all black metal, wood and fabric, actually adds a modicum of "cool" to my otherwise humble digs. Tremendous upgrade over the supposedly high-end radio/cd player from a competitor that had been here, and that cost almost as much over ten years ago. [Have yet to try blu tooth capability for streaming]. Crutchfield service outstanding as always -- system delivered free of charge to CT in two days.

The D-M41 is the best mini for any room.

This Denon D-M41 is definitely a really great sounding mini system. I have a Bose Wave radio, Cambridge Soundworks world radio and Sony Mini and others. It is a much better sounding system hands down in a 12' by 24' ft room. I also, added my own home built speakers and Sub along with a 25 watt amp along with a so so turn table with the Denon speakers. It's perfect for my needs. I'm a programmer and fabricate small series speakers and Subwoofers. This Denon D-M41 system is awesome for playing and testing. I Need to upgrade the turntable soon.

Small but Mighty!

Don't hesitate on this small but mighty gem! Quality, clean sound and more powerful than advertised for it's size... sure the Marshall full stack lovers will say it's a bit small but after playing a diverse array of recordings on CD I can tell you it is capable of rockin' more than one "dorm room". If you must have your no fail, low frequency deep bass, there are a pile of powered sub woofers that easily pair with this system. Five stars.

We have a large CD collection so we appreciate the high quality sound in a light compact system with speakers separate for good stereo. With the subwoofer output, the audio can easily be filled out with deeper bass if desired.

We are very pleased with unit. It was purchased as a way to bring music into the home and it is doing just that. While compact in size it provides excellent sound quality. While it cost a bit more than many of the "shelf units" it provides much better sound and we are hopeful it will last much longer. We could not be more pleased.

This replaces a 20 year old Denon min-system that developed problems with the cd player. This system is comparable in power output, but has better sound. Very easy to set up. The Bluetooth function is a very nice feature, and simple to utilize. Hope to get 20 years of use from this system as well.

Denon D-M41 is an INCREDIBLE SOUND SYSTEM

Denon makes an incredible product with the D-M41 system. Remote contorl allows adjustments at the touch of a finger and can be used several feret away from the unit. Sound and clarity are excellent thru the matcked twin speakers that arrive with the unit. Small foot print comapred to full size componet systems. Quick and easy to set up. I wish there was a way to add additional speakers without tying all speakers into the only two terminals that are on the back side of the unit. It would also be nice if there was more than 1 CD capability for extended music play time.

LIKE.

Primary reason I selected the Denon was its simpl(er), straightforward controls that appealed to this older, old-tech guy. Not quite as loud as I would have liked, but actually entirely adequate for normal purposes in the large bedroom suite I have it in. Appears good quality and from an established maker, good little unit. Wish they hadn't eliminated the USB port, now requires a special cable to hook up my Mac with Itunes. Ordering from Crutchfield was a no-brainer, have gotten stuff from them for several decades with absolute satisfaction. Like.

Denon D-M41

I have purchased at least two other compact stereo systems over the years. I also have owned larger home audio systems and audio/video sound system solutions since flat screens became the norm. I was in search of a compact stereo system that plays audio compact discs and delivers a rich sound in a single room. This can be difficult when you cannot hear the options you are considering. I researched available options. I know the Denon brand as a reliable and quality audio component manufacturer. Other options from reputable companies were generally half the price. Denon does provide a cost competitive option in the lower price range, model D-T1. I chose the Denon D-M41 in spite of the cost. The sound is rich and the power is more than sufficient for a large room (12' x 25'). Why did I choose the D-M41? Denon is a solid brand that publishes their specifications. They do not add eye (or ear) candy features I am not interested to have like karoke mode, extended bass mode or DJ operations. Also, they do not produce televisions, dishwashers and refridgerators. Denon makes audio components and has a solid reputation in the field. I paid a little more and am very happy with the product.

Disappointed in the performance. I have a 20 yr old Denon system UD-M5 with Mission speakers that is much better. I bought the D-M41 as a gift. On listening to it I switched my Mission speakers over and the new system sounds better. I concluded the Denon speakers are useless.

Denon D-M41

Well packaged. Easy set-up and to operate. It has a nice, tight sound even at the default settings. Very attractive. As with all modern 2 channel stereo systems, I am one of the many listeners (especially musicians) that do not like the three speaker requirement for some bass. We had it right from the beginning 60's, 70's and on up until early 90's with two speakers that had a "woofer" in each cabinet that would rattle walls and could make your heartbeat feel out of sync. It wasn't broke so I guess it had to be "fixed". Don't like the sub woofer concept except for movies, etc.

Unit Is Not Dependable

Love the sound, unfortunately I have had nothing but grief from this product. I don't believe Denon quality control is very good. Here's why. First unit purchased - great for 3 months, then the CD and Bluetooth audio both stopped working. Had to be issued a replacement unit. Second unit arrived at my home, unboxed it and it wouldn't even power on. Dead. A paperweight. Sent it back a second time. Third Denon DM41 - worked great for about 5 or 6 months. Then, the CD laser began having problems moving up and down a disc, especially when playing a programmed order of tracks (from track 3 to 6 back to 1, etc.). I could hear he laser "clicking" as if it was struggling to read discs accurately. Ultimately this killed the laser and the CD player once again. Now my Denon M41 is at the electronics shop for warranty repair. Very, very unhappy with the build quality of this product. It's just not rugged enough internally. We'll see how a repair shop does to improve upon Denon's shoddy workmanship. It's a shame, since the sound is wonderful. It's just not a dependable unit.

Good unit, unsatisfactory speakers

The main unit and remote are easy to use, with a decent number of functions, and the small foot print is both a visual and practical improvement over our older multi-unit set-up. However, the speakers produce very unclear, muddy sound. The enclosed foam plugs make no difference in the quality, nor do the controls available on the unit/remote. We've reconnected our old Bose shelf-tops and the sound is much clearer and definitive.

High quality, straightforward design

This is a well made mini system that is easy to use. The menu functions are very straightforward. There are enough inputs to satisfy most needs - two optical, one analog, FM and AM antenna. I can stream bluetooth audio from my phone and it works flawlessly. The sound is good - very clean and well detailed. The speakers are ported but come with foam plugs for those (like me) who prefer more subtle bass. The main unit is really solid and heavy - the case is all metal. FM performance is really good too. I had the unit set up and working (including auto-presetting the FM stations) within five minutes, following the printed quick start guide. There is a CD containing a pdf file with more detailed operating instructions. A few minor functions (like RDS) are not covered in that detailed manual, and that is my only complaint, and it's a minor one. This unit looks like it will give many years of enjoyment. I strongly recommend it if you're looking for a high quality mini stereo.

Great little system

Bought this to replace a bookshelf system old enough that it included a cassette player, and am blown away. Solid, simple, well-designed equipment that looks great and sounds unbelievable.

great sound for reasonable price

I've never had such great sound from a reasonably priced stereo. Bass and treble are adjustable which is a real plus. Manual comes on a CD but if you can't use a CD the manual is downloadable from a web site. FM radiio also produces great sound. The only thing I don't like about it is that from my chair I can't see the track number. I wish it was bigger or in red.

Great Sound, Spotty Build Quality

Sound quality was incredible (5 Stars)...build quality not so much (2 stars). CD player and Bluetooth playback died less than 4 months out of the box. Something clearly died internally that prevented audio from the CD player and bluetooth to convert to the speakers. Having to wait months for a backorder replacement from Crutchfield is not ideal. Not sure if I can even trust the replacement at this point. Guess we will roll the dice and find out.

Excellent soundscape. Fills the room with detailed musical clarity. I bought this for my wife to use in her art gallery for background music. She was impressed by the quality of the sound. We'll use the Bluetooth connection for Pandora music. She did say that changing out CD's was tough for her when she had a gallery full of customers; so the Pandora option through her iPad Pro should work just fine.

The unit is easy to set up and use although I do have to have the user manual open to find all of the menus available from the remote. The sound is clear and full for a small room, but high frequency response is a bit limited. I may consider better speakers to improve this issue.

Incredible small CD/receiver

March 2018. The Denon D-M41 exceeded all expectations in quality build and sound quality! Note I have not run this stereo hooked to it's included speakers. I'm using vintage Dynaco A-25s. The bass was better than when using a 400 watt amp. The clarity of mids and highs was superb. The silence and lack of hum is incredible even when using the FM radio. The bluetooth was tested using a version of a Direct to Disk Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Thelma Houston I've Got the Music in Me on Youtube. Incredible. I can't wait to connect a nice powered subwoofer. Only negatives are the tiny hard to see controls with no words. At 64 my eyes struggle to see these even with readers. No excuse for the hard to see controls these days. The difficulty in using the FM is major. You pretty much have to use the remote. The CD will play any kind of disk. -=j=-

Great sound

Some surprisingly similar sound qualities as my bigger stereo (which sounds really great - Acurus DIA100, PS audio Digital Link Gen. 2 outboard DAC, Acurus CD as transport, Definitive Technology tower speakers). Great dynamics, awesome bass (for such small speakers)( I have the bass up 2 notches & treble 1), impressive sound stage. Bluetooth works great as does the tuner. CDs sound unbelievably good for such a small inexpensive piece of gear. Using it in a small room....perfect!

The Sound and Design are Tight and Right

After a decade or more without a real stereo, living on headphones, using the monitors in my home studio, or listening on bluetooth/computer speakers, I "asked" for this for xmas from my family. It fit perfectly on our TV console, and set up in a moment. I connected my phone via bluetooth and we spent most of the next couple of days listening to everything from symphonic music (apres midi d'une faune) to the Raconteurs "Steady as She Goes", with stops at Esperanza Spaulding, Frank Zappa, Shostakovich quartets (love those Emersons), and James Taylor. It is SUCH a pleasure having a soundstage, tight unexaggerated bass (OK, it could use a bit more...now what subwoofer should I get?). The design is dead simple, the BT and everything else works beautifully. I'm a happy music guy.

solid bookshelf unit

Overall, this is a good bookshelf unit. It is small and fits nicely in a number of space unobtrusively. The speakers seem to be tuned too low, but using the foam blockers on the rear port help some and adjusting the bass down worked, too. I've found this to be the case in most mid-priced units from earbuds and headphones to speakers. I call it the "beats effect"; after years of listening to low bit-rate digital recordings on poor equipment, people seem to mistake bass for clarity. Anyhow, the set up was pretty easy and the bluetooth was a cinch to sync. Most of the controls are on the remote, so I hope we never lose it. All in all, I think we got our money's worth, but I wasn't overly "wow-ed" by the product. It was a gift for my notoriously finicky wife to use on the mainfloor and she likes it so, it met it's purpose well. I was considering a bose wave product, but think this Denon set outperforms and has better features.

Great sound, exceptional ease to assemble system

I wished to replace my old Panasonic audio system with a new system. A primary requirement was to include a multi-disc changer. After a considerable amount of web research, I selected the Denon D-M41 audio system with an Onkyo DX-C390 disc changer. There were some questions I needed answered prior to my purchase. After a web search for possible vendors, I selected Crutchfield and using their on-line communication, I sent a list of questions. The same day, I received a response from Andy, one of their customer service experts. He responded to each question and encouraged me to contact him if I had additional questions. The price for the complete system was within $20 of the the other vendor I had selected. My decision was simple since I consider service a very important part of any purchase. After I placed the order, I received an e-mail from Andy letting me know I could call him at any time if I needed any help in assembling the system. The Denon was so simple to assemble and connecting the Onkyo required one audio cable and took about 30 seconds. I had the complete system up and playing in 30 minutes. It has great sound and very easy to navigate through the many options available. I highly recommend the Danon and Onyko changer if you are in the market. And, of course, I highly recommend Crutchfield as your vendor. Not only will you get a great system, but also great service.
