The question has been asked have you actually listened to a Radio? Since that is still unanswered I will take that as a NO. Your position holds no weight whatsoever since you know not what you are speaking about. Is the Radio perfect, it is not. Does it sound good for what it is, IMO it sounds great for what it is (and I have one). The Mono from the two drives sounds really good and let us not forget that DSP is involved. This is much more then a mono clock radio with a single 2 inch paper cone driver. Does my Boom sound better, I think it does. But the better half loves the Radio for its size and sound. It is a great little radio for bedside, table top, back deck, or kitchen counter. Is it for a party on the back deck, no it is not, it is for background or local listening while enjoying the late afternoon. As to price, I think its not priced right as my argument is that with battery and remote it is only $50 less then a Boom. But again the consumer, the market, and time will tell what is the right price. So on price, I would say we agree. And in your later posts you keep comparing it to stereo units. That is like comparing Elephants to Raisins just because they both have wrinkles. The Radio sounds good for what it is. And now that you admit you have a Bose Radio this discussion is completely over! Talk about an over priced piece of junk, the Bose Radio takes the prize in that department. All one gets with it is all the advertising it took to get one to buy it and the advertising it takes for the next sucker to buy one. Bose proved that with enough advertising one CAN even sell ice to Eskimos! Bose IS all about the money and nothing to do with the sound. Look at the 901, a cheap 4 inch paper full range driver facing forward with 8 of the same drivers facing the rear. Bose are the masters of the advertising con game. Logitech puts separate modern drivers in both the Boom and Radio, not cheap small full range drivers. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68947 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
