So I heard the Bose wave radio system...

[Rubycon]

Also why can you not buy a small radio that looks like a radio any more?

Been to an electronics store lately? Damn things all look like space ships.

If they sold it for $80-$120 I would be impressed.

But $500? Um, no. That's like being impressed with a $15 stick of gum.

lollerskates :laugh:

why is bose so unliked?? the sound and base is great for such a little stereo...is it just overpriced for the parts they put in?

 

[thomsbrain]

it does sound good for its size. in fact, i have to admit i was blown away by how rich it sounds. but for $300, i'd still take my money elsewhere.

Maybe be base is nice, but have you heard real bass?

I'd much rather have one of the systems I listed above for about the same price.

Bose wave radio is GARBAGE. Mom had one, it broke, stopped playing CDs, then the speakers just stopped working.

All it is, is a banpass system in a small package.

actually...its a transmission line system...

 

[sharkeeper]

The blows shameradio (like the acoustimess system) cannot handle the demand of a decent live recording!

 

[jiwq]

but it looks so advanced. in the infomercial, you can see that highly advanced snake tubing stuff inside. they also show you those scientists drawing fancy formulas on the chalkboard. it must have been filmed directly from their r&d.

Base is something that you put something on top of to add stability, <chem> something when mixed with acid will make a hurricane.

Bass is a fish with big and small mouth depending where you catch it, lower musical notes.

How low can you go? ATOT is nearly DC. 🙂

1. Try one of these for eye popping performance in a tiny package. :shocked:

Better than Tivoli?

 

[Ornery]

Don't know. I bought that as an Xmas gift last year. Got it from BestBuy, and I figured I'd just return it if it sucked... it didn't suck!

All I know is that Nixon Hated it.

i've got a Tivoli Model One and a Henry Kloss Model 88 radio. love them both and i think they sounds just a good if not better than the Bose Wave Radio. when you factor in the price, it's a no brainer.

just say no to mono.

many modern recordings encounter pretty horrible phasing issues when played in mono. i would never EVER purchase anything that played in mono, period.

i'm no audiophile, but my Model One sounds pretty good with all the music i've pumped through it, including my mp3 player hooked up to it.

can you explain what phasing issues are?

what do you mean it can't handle it? the only thing that seperates that file from any other source material is the high dynamic range. it's not like it's demanding low bass or super detailed reproduction or instrument seperation.

Got this for the bedroom. I like it.
