Your position holds > no weight whatsoever since you know not what you are speaking about. i answered it. and frankly, you guys harping on this point isn't very valid since i have yet to hear anyone say the sbradio sounds better than the boom. can i not use aggregated opinion from these boards? iPhone;468637 Wrote: > Is the Radio perfect, it is not.

The Radio sounds good for what it is. if we forget price, and just compare sbradio to boom, boom wins. now, we can debate what is or isn't the equal of the boom outside slim, or how much difference in price matters, but the basic premise is to me, set. iPhone;468637 Wrote: > And now that you admit you have a Bose Radio this discussion is > completely over! wow, thats reasonable! ;) iPhone;468637 Wrote: > Talk about an over priced piece of junk, the Bose Radio takes the prize > in that department.

Logitech puts separate modern drivers in > both the Boom and Radio, not cheap small full range drivers. i paid well under $100 for mine (refurb). not sure what model, but it has CD. its the best bedside alarm clock/radio i've ever had. and to me it sounds loud and full without getting distorted. i've never heard a boom side by side to it, but i don't recall thinking "hey, that boom sounds better." maybe it does, hopefully one day i can find out. anyway... i'd rather have my inexpensive (to me) wave or pay for a boom, then have the pointless (to me) sbradio. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - w/sc 7.3.4b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 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
