Seems to be a lot of confusion about the power rating for this system. Here's the official spec sheet for the CM4550: www.lg.com/us/support/products/documents/CM4550-Spec-Sheet-2016.pdf 230W amplifier for each satellite(2) = 460w 240w amplifier for subwoofer = 240w Total amplifier power = 700w. Not stated whether this is max or RMS output. Others claim this output is only 80w. 80w is the power consumption specification. If you only want to call the information fake, then record actual proof and specification against the power rating and submit it to court or LG for false information.
The real RMS Power is never 700 Watts. So I think 80 - 120 Watts is possible. I have the cm4441. It has 80 Watts RMS Power and has the same satellites.
It is impossible. The Power-Input is about 80 Watts... So it can't produce more power as it gets. Brands like LG, Samsung, Philips, Panasonic,... use the Numbers to make them look powerful. But these numbers are not real. 700 Watts PMPO. This System can handel 700Watts for a extrem short time. Like 0.0001 sek an after that it will explode or burn. But it will never reach this power. More like 80-120 Watts. I have a 100 Watt RMS Sub from Pioneer. It makes much more bass as this LG crap. The GIGA Sound systems are the same joke. Bad sound quality and the power numbers are only marketing and not real. You can have 1000Watts RMS real Power and your window will survive it. ;) But everything in your room will shake.
Sebastian J If this Sound System is enough for you okay. No Problem for me. For a ebay price of 120 Dollars it's okay. But for the original price you can get much better things. I don't want that other people do the Same misstake. I have the Lg cm4441 which has the same satellites. Bought it for 5 years for 200 Euros. I didn't know that the power was a joke. For me it was wasted money. These Sounds Systems are normaly fully over priced. I don't want that over people make the same misstake. The Lg cm9940 has a price of 1000 Euro. For 280 Watts RMS. You can get so much better stuff for this money.
JDTechGear can I blow those cheap Chinese speakers up lol what a pace of junk ''What the sound quality'' you need to listen proper hi fi system..... Gosh you make me laugh poor you lol
turntableman100 what makes me laugh is your grammar. Secondly, I said these sound good for the money, around $150-200 for a complete system. Maybe you should use that expert knowledge and higher level of intellect of yours to analyze what I'm saying.
@@Montano214 To each their own man. They both are great, some people can afford more expensive things than others. But everyone is always trying to "one up" someone else.
This system is great. .it's lightweight easy setup and the sound it crisp and clear. Once you play around with the EQ you will be hooked it gets extremely loud. I don't even no if I had it at the highest level was on 25 for sound the EQ that starts with an M gave me the best sound that I wanted can't wait to play around with it more
I love this sound system and the subwoofer. Not the deepest subwoofer or clearest sounding system, but sure is a bang for the buck. Puts out enough volume for even my neighbors to enjoy.
@@Brenton-xc2fg Actually I got 2 subs (10") they are in a box just like a car stereo and I got some speaker wire and connect both wires from the speakers and connected it 2 the sub connection to the system. Sounds great also I have an equalizer on my phone 2 make music sound even better.
Yes this is the model I've decided on I've looked at a lot of reviews yours was more in-depth than others and I really appreciate that thank you for the review and you have made up my mind
Is the radio reception any good? Say, compared to the 40 dollar ONN mini stereo system from Walmart? Does it have adequate adjacent channel separation? Can it accept an outdoor antenna connection? Any answers at all would be appreciated.
gr8 review, after searching many other shelf systems and researching functions/controls on this one, your review made the final decision, ordered it on prime tonight. Thanks for a great unboxing and review
I have one this LG system. It is indeed 700W RMS because is is very loud and has excellent sound quality. Vol 25 is loud enough for my living room and probably pisses off my neighbours yet it goes up to 40 and you can max it all the way to without any reduction of bass or introduction of distortion like most stereos do. The bass is not that heavy but i think that is expected due to the small size of the subwofer which is just 7". I think hooking up a 12 inch sub may increase the bass since the sub output alone is 240W RMS.
Hi, i ended up losing the orange piece that connects the subwoofer to the main system. Any advice on how to fix this or what i should use to re connect it again?
Sad that this radio doesn’t have a PL-259 coaxial FM antenna radio jack! I have this in my basement and only get two stations with the pitiful wire antenna!
Hello just bought mine a few weeks ago it is very nice with lots of features. I wanted more bass so I added a larger subwoofer and now it sounds fantastic .
@@bryanmelendez4472 Hey Bryan I am home now just had dinner. Well what I did was I had 2 extra 10' subwoofer speakers in the garage and I went to my friend's radio repair shop and bought a speaker box (same like in a car) and I connect both speaker wires to the system where it says woofer in the back. Hope that helps it sounds great.
Look for bass boosted songs, the CJ45 is a beast, I had it maxed out with the extreme bass setting, and extreme bass boosted songs and there was no distortion at all.
i have 2 of the lg oj98's paired up.. Nowhere near the 1,800 watts it claims to have but with the right music, it will rattle those pics off your walls without problem.
Is there a way to increase "highs" specifically? While watching movies, voices sound muffled. Toggled through all equalizer settings and all basically sound the same.
Hey got a question. Maybe you can look at this for me. When i trun my lg mini 1900w on its automatically on demo mode or demo sound if you call it. How the hell do you get it off this stupid settings 😒 it blasted my window and didnt like it please send me info bro
Just ordered this stereo system last week. Wanted something decent to hook my record player up to that wasn't going to break the bank. Saw it going for $177 on Amazon so I figured I'd order it.

It’s an excellent system. If you haven’t tried it already, put the subwoofer in a corner to amplify the bass. I had my windows and walls rattling at half volume and could hear it half way down the street.
This system is awesome great quality of sound and great price easy set up it won't disappoint. I love it. I love bass to this is more than enough. All i use is the Bluetooth which is awesome. Enjoy I am
EVERYBODY...I have this system and it is amazing. Unlike what he says, there is plenty of bass. This system rattled my house on just 10-15 volume.(keep in mind it goes up to 50 volume) but I wouldn’t recommend going up that far, it would probably bring down my house if the speakers wouldn’t blown up lol
It goes to 40 but okay..😂😂 I have the same one to. I have had it for going on 3years. Still sounds good but I had to get new speakers. & don t for get if you have a small room yes it will shake it your room if you have a big room it doesn't hit has hard.
@SuperRegal79 I'm thinking about getting Polk speakers for it. I just tested a pair on the LG , my dad has Polk bookshelf speakers , so we tested it on the LG , just to see how it would sound. And , sounded real nice and , was louder than the speakers i have running to it. Not by much but it's still louder and sounds way nicer.
@SuperRegal79 Because the original speakers that came with it , I blew the tweeters on it. But now I'm running Samsung speakers that sound decent , but there getting old and don't sound has good. They do but they don't on certain songs. So I'm just thinking about getting pair of polks.
I've got one of these... Its loud! But the only thing that let's it down is the sub. It doesn't have a amplifier that works with it so it's not proper bass, you can't hear the air just bass it's weird.
Well...........I am trying to connect to my i pod ....it doesnt recognize it. Wont connect to my mp player either. I guess this cm 4590 that i purchased or your video doesnt show anyone connect devices like the ones i have. I am out...
them little drivers couldn't handle my 560W total power amp i blew it on a 150W output so pls tell me why they didn't survive 1/2 its rated power lmao oh ye forgot to mention that i wasn't anywhere near max vol..
It's just a weaker sub bro I bought off Amazon prime and it's a 3ohm subwoofer but the equalizer with the remote doesn't bring up an equalizer at all! Its somewhat disappointing
I've been considering buying this stereo. On the plus side it has FM radio, plus the red & white jacks in the back into which I could plug my record player. But acc. to one reviewer on Amazon, it can read only 2000 songs at a time per USB drive. I store 4 times that many songs on my thumb drive. So if the reviewer's experience is anything to go by, then you may want to divide your music across several USB drives.
You are adorable!! i just bought this systems last night from the dell website for 119 bucks!!.. i lucked out.. i hope its still holding up.. i dont blast my music anymore so it should last for me..lol
Hey man, great Video, any chance you know the dimensions ofthe speakers andhead unit? I'm trying to see if the width and depth will work for the space I have in my place.
I had the same stereo system as you have here..but it was 6600w...while playing sound with max volume..the speakers Will vibrate and move.. turn .same with the subwoofer...thats why the subwoofer is little bit more large and heavy..but still its vibrate away..🤣.i still have the same music system..its now 7 years long i have it in my house ..and it Will stay my favaurite..😇😇
I am gonna get a skar 700 watt subwoofer 8 inch and since the subwoofer with that sistem is 700 watt I don’t gotta buy an amp because my skar is 700 watts
Bliz Cuarzo The cm4550 sounds great. I checked out the cm4750 and it's just a 1000w version, so it most likely has the same speakers but just a larger amplifier. In all honesty 700w is more than enough power because this thing gets loud and sounds good while doing it too. Right now it's right under $200 on the link I provided. So I mean for $200 you get a really good value. You could easily spend $400 on just a sound bar. So this system is actually pretty nice. Up to you if you want 1000 watts but I think 700 is plenty. Hope that helps
700 watts my happy ass! Reminds me of those giant , heavy boom boxes from the 80s! Save your money and buy a 5.1 or 2 channel reciever, then speakers, then subwooferS . You gonna be happier in the long run, when this thing starts fucking up!
I recommend using bigger gauge wire. I've had this system going on 4 years. And I just started using bigger gauge wire today. And let me tell you , it makes a differents using bigger gauge wire. Sounds way better. And sounds louder. And everybody that really wants to know about this system , yeah it's nothing crazy. But it's good for the price for a kid. I'm 16 had since like when I was 12-13 And people are like the thing didn't even last like a year. Well maybe take better care of your things. Bc I've had this thing going on 4 years. Everything still works just fine with the amp , Bookshelf stereo. Only thing I had to do was replace the front speakers. It was like a year later the factor speakers blew the tweeters. But ever since that I've been using two front speakers and two back speakers. I was using two subwoofers. But after like 6-8 months later the Subwoofer channel started to weaken , it would shut off at vol 20. Going in protect mode. So I just on hooked the other subwoofer. And just been using one subwoofer Sony 8inch and it works just fine even at Maxs volume. So every stop hating on this system , yeah it's not 700 watts but it sounds good for a kid for the price. My dad has a 750watt Denon and my LG is kinda comparable with the "highs" not the bass the bass completely destroys the LG. And Im using 18 gauge wire. And I just had it at vol 28. And it seems way louder with bigger gauge wire before it didn't sound has loud.
I'm sorry, These are not lacking bass. I have the same speaker system and They are Definitely bassy enough. I think you didnt hear the bass as much as you probably tested them In a more confined space, and because the bass waves are longer, you have to stand back to hear them. Even if you have stood back far enough, Maybe you just expect more. To solve this you can get Bass boosters for your phone or PC. I am Aware that you said you have more testing to do, just pointing this out :) Have a Nice day, -Muppet Edit: I must also Point out that I have the LG CM4560, but they're basically the same, just design difference
_MisterMuppet_ Bass Booster? Really? A good Sound system don't need a bass bosster... My little Pioneer Sub with real 100 Watts RMS has much more power as this LG crap.
_MisterMuppet_ Okay. But doesn't change the fakt that LG sound systems have bad quality. The most people buy it and think: "Wow! Its so loud! That must be 700 Watts! And the Sound quality is great!" Of it is enough for you it is okay but these systems are a joke. Just hear a real hifi System with real 300 Watts RMS. It is a huge difference.
Alcatraz Crylake Well I personally think that at lower volumes and up to 60% of the volume, the sound is really crisp and perfectly equalised for me. Everyone has their own opinions about things so why don't we end this and be on our way :)
I am a huge fan of deep/full bass. No need for another subwoofer. Not sure why he thinks he made need another subwoofer. My system is on the floor and even at low volume levels the bass is phenomenal. Purchased it this past Black Friday at Best buy for $129
Drew Andrews easily bro i had the samsung mx 230 watt, i thought those speakers were loud,but picked these ones today, NO FUCKING CONTEST, THESE BABIES FUCKING KICK MAN.
I have 4 speakers running , two front speaker and two back speakers. I did have two subwoofers running at once and it was doing a great job but it started to weaken out so i just stopped using two subwoofers but besides that it still sounds good and it's going on 4years and I have abuse it 😂😂 over the years 😂
Pls someone can help me, I didn't find this system anywhere I searched it, can someone answer me and send me a link of where I can buy this fantastic system or some other system (700+ watt rms)? Sorry for my bad English and thanks to who Answer me. P.s. I live in Italy so I don't know if I buy it on an American site they can send me in Italy.
Seen this model at WalMart for 179.00 bucks. Almost baught it. I got the 3,500 watt LG CJ98 instead. And baught some new windows for my house. Just incase.
Hmm, I would if you want a dedicated sub woofer and head unit and 700 watts, unless you just want a decent soundbar. But I personally get more out of the 2 speakers and sub than a soundbar. I don't know many other full systems like this one around the same price. The next best thing is the 2015 Samsung GIGA 1600 watt system, but that's $290.
In my opinion it's a powerful system very loud, heavy hollow sounding bass. The mids and the highs were almost non existent, very muffled sound. both top speakers produced almost as much bass as the subwoofer. If your not as picky about the the mids and highs it's not a bad system for the price and the quality was good. This is great for a younger person who just wants loud thumping music for a really great price.
Not really a mini system having 700 Watt base power just being powered on I wonder if you disconnect the subwoofer if it will drop 240Watt of RMS or still output that power
Back then in the 90's I had one like those buy not lg it was Aiwa I paid $199.99 it was loud with big bass I can't believe I was going to buy the one you bought you said it doesn't have bass that doesn't sound good
No this video dates back to 2016. But I believe this model was still in production well into 2019. I'm not sure if LG still makes this model but I think it was introduced in 2014 or 2015.
Not really "hi fi". a music system. #real output divide by 10, so is 800w, it's 80W. If the amp was 700w, you would need a massive room. My 100w HIFI Audiolabs drive 150 Kef Reference speakers and sound far better, but costs much more than the LG which is ok for starting out, but hard to listen to, as said, has loads of bass, but muffled mid range and non-existant mid to highs...
I do wish people who have never owned this would keep their negative comments to themselves. It's not what I would choose and maybe it's not to everyone's taste but it's a fairly well made systems, at least the speaker cabinets are made of chipboard. LG systems can last many years, I have one from 1998 that's still working apart from it's own CD player but as long as it has an aux you can still use either an external CD player or a DVD/Blue Ray player to play audio CDs or in this case just rip them on the computer and use a USB flash drive.

Can I hook it up to my lap top and if so how?
Aux cord
I've been considering buying this stereo. On the plus side it has FM radio, plus the red & white jacks in the back into which I could plug my record player. But acc. to one reviewer on Amazon, it can read only 2000 songs at a time per USB drive. I store 4 times that many songs on my thumb drive. So if the reviewer's experience is anything to go by, then you may want to divide your music across several USB drives.
This is missing one important thing that made these so fun.
Dual Cassette player/recorder.
I got it last week its perfect
Will this let you set your own EQ presets?
You are adorable!! i just bought this systems last night from the dell website for 119 bucks!!.. i lucked out.. i hope its still holding up.. i dont blast my music anymore so it should last for me..lol
yeah loud music can over work the speakers and amp
Can be connected to TV???
Hey man, great Video, any chance you know the dimensions ofthe speakers andhead unit? I'm trying to see if the width and depth will work for the space I have in my place.
I had the same stereo system as you have here..but it was 6600w...while playing sound with max volume..the speakers Will vibrate and move.. turn .same with the subwoofer...thats why the subwoofer is little bit more large and heavy..but still its vibrate away..🤣.i still have the same music system..its now 7 years long i have it in my house ..and it Will stay my favaurite..😇😇
@JDTechGear how would you add another sub?
I want to buy in the range of $300 to $350.which one is best?Any Recomendation
still working well ?
can this be connected to a dvd player and karaoke player?
Ok …soooo the bass is really deep and twitters are very clear .. nice review bro .. 😤
I am gonna get a skar 700 watt subwoofer 8 inch and since the subwoofer with that sistem is 700 watt I don’t gotta buy an amp because my skar is 700 watts
Well actually I just want to know if it sounds good to buy me one
Bliz Cuarzo The cm4550 sounds great. I checked out the cm4750 and it's just a 1000w version, so it most likely has the same speakers but just a larger amplifier. In all honesty 700w is more than enough power because this thing gets loud and sounds good while doing it too. Right now it's right under $200 on the link I provided. So I mean for $200 you get a really good value. You could easily spend $400 on just a sound bar. So this system is actually pretty nice. Up to you if you want 1000 watts but I think 700 is plenty. Hope that helps
700 watts my happy ass! Reminds me of those giant , heavy boom boxes from the 80s! Save your money and buy a 5.1 or 2 channel reciever, then speakers, then subwooferS . You gonna be happier in the long run, when this thing starts fucking up!
haha lol
I recommend using bigger gauge wire. I've had this system going on 4 years. And I just started using bigger gauge wire today. And let me tell you , it makes a differents using bigger gauge wire. Sounds way better. And sounds louder. And everybody that really wants to know about this system , yeah it's nothing crazy. But it's good for the price for a kid. I'm 16 had since like when I was 12-13 And people are like the thing didn't even last like a year. Well maybe take better care of your things. Bc I've had this thing going on 4 years. Everything still works just fine with the amp , Bookshelf stereo. Only thing I had to do was replace the front speakers. It was like a year later the factor speakers blew the tweeters. But ever since that I've been using two front speakers and two back speakers. I was using two subwoofers. But after like 6-8 months later the Subwoofer channel started to weaken , it would shut off at vol 20. Going in protect mode. So I just on hooked the other subwoofer. And just been using one subwoofer Sony 8inch and it works just fine even at Maxs volume. So every stop hating on this system , yeah it's not 700 watts but it sounds good for a kid for the price. My dad has a 750watt Denon and my LG is kinda comparable with the "highs" not the bass the bass completely destroys the LG. And Im using 18 gauge wire. And I just had it at vol 28. And it seems way louder with bigger gauge wire before it didn't sound has loud.
Hey, would I be able to connect a klipsch subwoofer to the head unit? Idk anything about speakers
What gauge wire did u use ??
I'm sorry, These are not lacking bass. I have the same speaker system and They are Definitely bassy enough. I think you didnt hear the bass as much as you probably tested them In a more confined space, and because the bass waves are longer, you have to stand back to hear them. Even if you have stood back far enough, Maybe you just expect more. To solve this you can get Bass boosters for your phone or PC. I am Aware that you said you have more testing to do, just pointing this out :)
Have a Nice day,
-Muppet
Edit: I must also Point out that I have the LG CM4560, but they're basically the same, just design difference
_MisterMuppet_ Bass Booster? Really? A good Sound system don't need a bass bosster... My little Pioneer Sub with real 100 Watts RMS has much more power as this LG crap.
Alcatraz Crylake I said you only need a bass booster if you want to hear more bass than they usually produce.
Alcatraz Crylake they don't NEED a bass booster at all imo
_MisterMuppet_ Okay. But doesn't change the fakt that LG sound systems have bad quality. The most people buy it and think: "Wow! Its so loud! That must be 700 Watts! And the Sound quality is great!" Of it is enough for you it is okay but these systems are a joke. Just hear a real hifi System with real 300 Watts RMS. It is a huge difference.
Alcatraz Crylake Well I personally think that at lower volumes and up to 60% of the volume, the sound is really crisp and perfectly equalised for me. Everyone has their own opinions about things so why don't we end this and be on our way :)
Is there a way to add another subwoofer?
I'm sure there is, I haven't found a way to yet though
JDTechGear have you found one yet
Zacharoo418 same dude
Timothy Duston have you found a way
There is no way, because if you try to add one more then the amplifier isn't enoughly powerful for two subwoofer.
JDTechGear that can asser so that the equipment is not equalized osea that sounds normal without equalizing it to the genre of song that I listen
I am a huge fan of deep/full bass. No need for another subwoofer. Not sure why he thinks he made need another subwoofer. My system is on the floor and even at low volume levels the bass is phenomenal. Purchased it this past Black Friday at Best buy for $129
Drew Andrews easily bro i had the samsung mx 230 watt, i thought those speakers were loud,but picked these ones today, NO FUCKING CONTEST, THESE BABIES FUCKING KICK MAN.
what do you think is the best sound effect pre set?
I personally use salsa, took me a while to find the best one.
Bass , football. My option.
I have 4 speakers running , two front speaker and two back speakers. I did have two subwoofers running at once and it was doing a great job but it started to weaken out so i just stopped using two subwoofers but besides that it still sounds good and it's going on 4years and I have abuse it 😂😂 over the years 😂
And I also like to use football because it makes it kinda sound like a surround sound
But I did have to replace the LG speakers that came with it , The tweeter blew in both speakers
I have it and it sounds great can't beat the price on it
does this support a digital optical cable?
No there is no digital optical input unfortunately
Pls someone can help me, I didn't find this system anywhere I searched it, can someone answer me and send me a link of where I can buy this fantastic system or some other system (700+ watt rms)?
Sorry for my bad English and thanks to who Answer me.
P.s. I live in Italy so I don't know if I buy it on an American site they can send me in Italy.
Geezus....... are you unboxing a coffin?!! Good lawd!!!!
Seen this model at WalMart for 179.00 bucks. Almost baught it. I got the 3,500 watt LG CJ98 instead. And baught some new windows for my house. Just incase.
How much electricity does it consume?
All I saw was busted biscuits. .
But how is bass? Deep bass or boxy sound?
kala dar About the same as the JBL Charge 3. It says 100 Hz but it’ll go down to 48-45ish which is plenty enough for most songs.
if this is on amazon for 197 should I buy?
Hmm, I would if you want a dedicated sub woofer and head unit and 700 watts, unless you just want a decent soundbar. But I personally get more out of the 2 speakers and sub than a soundbar. I don't know many other full systems like this one around the same price. The next best thing is the 2015 Samsung GIGA 1600 watt system, but that's $290.
What is a sound system with a huge big bass subwoofer
jvc mx-gt90 is my favorite for deep bass, look at this video of it: /watch?v=IjaykUSMQa8&feature=youtu.be
I got this last nite, the BASS is awesome, love it, 2 bad i can't blast it cuz i live in apts, lol
I do to and I still do lol
I JUST PAID 120 FROM BEST BUY FOR THIS SAME STEREO AND I LUVVVVV IT...
How much brother thise speakers price
Which is better lg cm4550 or lg cm4750
Bliz Cuarzo Are you sure it's a cm4750? I couldn't find that specific model
the head unit seems kinda small to handle those 3 big speakers
Does this have am/fm radio?
DomesticGarlic no
It does have FM radio but not AM radio.
Mine isn’t working.. it says it’s connected to but dosent play any sound.. anyone care to share there details?
In my opinion it's a powerful system very loud, heavy hollow sounding bass. The mids and the highs were almost non existent, very muffled sound. both top speakers produced almost as much bass as the subwoofer. If your not as picky about the the mids and highs it's not a bad system for the price and the quality was good. This is great for a younger person who just wants loud thumping music for a really great price.
Thanks for that
Can anyone give me the dimensions of the head unit?
dude im gonna sound retarted but how do u operate the subwoofer.i can't find an on/off butoon for it nor a setting on the controller
Pavlos Ge did u ever find out how to use it ? I'm in the same boat
It should automatically be enabled
There isn't one
Keegan Hunt there isn't one
There is a bass blast button I have the same one
Thats insane brother .. I want one
How top on tv
I've got one of my own its soo loud
Yessss
@@karindamckenzie4719 All I saw was busted biscuits. .
Not really a mini system having 700 Watt base power just being powered on I wonder if you disconnect the subwoofer if it will drop 240Watt of RMS or still output that power
Back then in the 90's I had one like those buy not lg it was Aiwa I paid $199.99 it was loud with big bass I can't believe I was going to buy the one you bought you said it doesn't have bass that doesn't sound good
no this model was released 1 April 2019
No this video dates back to 2016. But I believe this model was still in production well into 2019.
I'm not sure if LG still makes this model but I think it was introduced in 2014 or 2015.
Not really "hi fi". a music system. #real output divide by 10, so is 800w, it's 80W. If the amp was 700w, you would need a massive room. My 100w HIFI Audiolabs drive 150 Kef Reference speakers and sound far better, but costs much more than the LG which is ok for starting out, but hard to listen to, as said, has loads of bass, but muffled mid range and non-existant mid to highs...
Yes actually it’s hifi, and has the 700 watts. KEF is not as good.
I do wish people who have never owned this would keep their negative comments to themselves. It's not what
I would choose and maybe it's not to everyone's taste but it's a fairly well made systems, at least the speaker
cabinets are made of chipboard. LG systems can last many years, I have one from 1998 that's still working
apart from it's own CD player but as long as it has an aux you can still use either an external CD player or
a DVD/Blue Ray player to play audio CDs or in this case just rip them on the computer and use a USB flash drive.
