I will say this about the music wave clock radio, you can get an obscene amount of sound out of the thing considering what it is. We use one for the 4:30 a.m. reveille on duck huntin trips, usually something like 'Runnin with the Devil' from Van Halen I. There ain't no sleepin' through that mess; worth every penny I think.
Bose Infomercial
I was up late last night and this infomercial for the Bose Music Wave came on. The "host" was Herbie Hancock. Interesting I watched it for about 1/2 hour - got tired of the same testimonials. May be the best thing on the box. Now I don't mean to disparage lifestyle systems too much and I can see their appeal (no wires, portability) but this was some very slick advertising for what I thought was just a ghetto blaster. It really highlighted the difference between the people that visit this site and the rest of the world. Evantually I had to put on my headphones just to reassure myself that all the components and wires are worth it. Highly recommend you give it a watch. I wonder how much Herbie got paid.
