 Topic: OT Radio Question?

Sorry this is not an AC farm equipment question, not sure where to ask this. Are the Bose Wave Radio and CD Changer Systems any good? See several of them used on ebay, makes me wonder why people would be selling them. Thanks.

My FIL bought one with the multiple CD canger about three years ago. As far as I know he has had no problems with it. It sounds good but no better than a $69 Magnavow unit that we bought at Wally World. Bose seems to be the "john deere" of the music world. A company with an OK product but a Great Marketing department!

I'll second that. You can buy better but you can't pay more.

I'll third that !! They've got a great 'con artist' department...whoops, sales promotion dept.
Been in the audio game since vacuum tubes...designed and built entire systems( they call them home theatre now)..and the Bose 'idea' is nothing more than a cheap speaker in a tuned ducted port...old school, right out of the '50s......

Well worth the expenditure, Claus. They're everything they say they are. In fact, when we bought ours, my wife decided we'd go back the next day and buy one as a gift for her mother!

Broadcast engineer's I've have said, "No lows, must be Bose."
Small speaker with an acoustic coupler network for bass still doesn't have much bass. Hints at bass by passing harmonics. No what I care to listen too, playing bass.

We've had plenty of Bose equipment, had good luck with it, sounds good, been reliable, sounds better then a lot of other things I've heard.

I was always told:
"No highs, No lows...It must be Bose"
Still love the sound from Klipsch Horns.
