I bought a used one for my office and it is just fine. Not great but other people tell me all that time that it sounds great. I think the sound is a bit open with a lack of detail and really sloppy bass responce. But I am comparing it to a $70000 system. So for the money I do not think you will be disappointed. And I have never had a problem with it mechanically.
Bose Wave Music system
I was wondering if anyone had or actually listened to the Bose Wave Music system. For a simple, all-in-one solution, it seems like it could be worthwhile. It has a cd player, radio, and speakers all in one box. Without the optional cd changer it costs $499. What do you think? Thanks for the input.
