  - High priced hype with plastic surround.I had one and was seduced by, " it sounds better than a stereo many times its size". What rubbish. It sounds "so so" and nothing at all special I used mine in the UK and USA and the classical FM channels sounded really flat and lifeless. It is all plastic which looks crappy after a while. My BOSE was white in colour and turned a pleasing tone of old ivory. If you want a great sounding small system try the TIVOLI Mk 2 with the CD player. Nicely built with wood and a warm pleasant sound. You cannot get great sound with a mini set of speakers. Thats fact. I now own a analog tube stereo and cd player with Klipsh speakers. That is music! Rating:  - Beautiful Bose!Bose Wave Music System - Platinum White The Bose Wave Radio is a joy from the first instance of approaching the opening of the normally dreaded packing. There were no extra fillers in the compact box which opened without the usual hacking, tearing and #@*+# and the radio lifted easily, with the supplemental features in full view. THEN--a simple user friendly setup which resulted in glorious sound! The design of the radio is superb, resting on a small table and adding class to my hum-drum life. This well designed, well researched product is a tribute to the Bose company. Thank you, Granny Dee, San Diego, California Rating: - I almost bought this to find common ground with the rest of humanityI laugh at and mock the Bose company both on Amazon and in real life among living, breathing human beings. This shocks some, offends others, and perhaps mildly annoys the rest. "Bose" is used by the masses swimming in disposable income to mean "good audio" as "Coke" is used to mean bubbly sweet brown liquid. I myself have fairly cheap audio products, except for some expensive (by non-audiophile standards) speakers I bought without any good reason a long time ago. But the point is, I grew up in a home with good audio equipment. I recall when my brother once saved up his money and bought some fashionable Bose monitors to replace the cheap speakers that came with an all-in-one stereo he'd got hold of. Problem was, when we hooked them up, they sounded worse than what they replaced--thin, lacking in bass, clarity, presence, whatever. Compared to my father's various speaker pairs, they were absolute trash. He doggedly used them for years because he'd spent a few hundred bucks on them; however, and all his music sounded like it was coming across the world's loudest AM radio. And over the years it seemed every time I encountered a Bose product--attached to computers, in cars, in living rooms--it sucked either in actual performance, or was was ridiculous in concept, such as the strangely shaped $250 3-CD changer the company markets. But "Bose" rolled on like a CEO from early in this decade, living the high life and laughing at the discrepancy between performance and pay. And the shareholders, as it were, were fine with that, while I remained a sort of Nietzschean outsider, gnashing in my teeth in lonely superiority alone in my garret. But something has happened recently that cracked my seething hatred of the Bose company, and given me hope that someday I might be reconciled with the rest of mankind: I heard a Bose product that I liked quite a bit, twice. It was this radio at the home of a friend and colleague. Although I normally only listen to emo, it was tuned to a classical station, and there was not one thing really wrong with how it sounded. Because of the modest size and the nameplate, I expected not much at all, and instead heard something strongly adequite for eating and drinking to. It sounded better than my brother's old Bose speakers, that's for sure. The bass was OK, the sound was clear and balanced as it echoed around the room. It sounded about as good as hooking up a compact CD player to a Peavey combo guitar amp, like I did it long ago. Likewise, from across the room, there was no clear sense of listening to stereo, but you can't have everything, specially when it's a Bose. I briefly thought about buying this thing partly out of perversity and partly to put in my office and probably would have if it had been about $300 to $350 cheaper. But if you have money to blow, it's not a bad product at all. Rating: - disposable stereo..A friend owns this "system" and the CD player was skipping. He took it in for service and the tech wouldn't touch it saying "replace it", it's disposable stereo. Bose spends millions advertising this hunk of plastic knowing full well that the majority of purchasers don't really understand how little they are getting for their money. For $500 you can do a whole lot better folks. Friends don't let friends buy Bose. Rating: - ansleyThis a top-rate music system and the envy of my friends.As a matter of fact,one is buying the system soon.Delivered in quick fashion. Ansley Brown |
