I don't mean the best audio with the built in speaker, but with a
reasonably good external speaker.

Is it the HF-150? The HF-225? Something else?

What's your opinion?

I used to have an ICF-2010 on an umbilical snake (4.5 Vdc, transformer
driven balanced audio, super flexible RG-6) connected to my 120'
random wire, running through a stereo receiver with JBL-Century 100s.
That sounded pretty damn good on KUSW.

- something like this.. a subwoofer / Satellite speaker system

This is much cooler, and costs 100s less:

But these are probably all most people need:

I think you mis-wrote your thoughts - - - the Cambride system at the
above link is a few hundred more than the Bose system at jr.com.

Agreed. Cambridge puts out a nice sounding speaker system - of course
anything that Henry Kloss worked on will get my attention. Don't know
how much they'd improve the R75 audio though.

You're right. I thought it was the AM5.

Not used to seeing anything under $500 from Bose.

I too was surprised at the price - atypical for Bose. Your acronym
for them is humorous.

Lookup Bose on any HiFi board and you get negative responses. The
Acoustimas system, for instance, has no real subwoofer. I bought the
cambridge Soundworks system and, for the same money as the Bose, got a 500
powered subwoofer system. The system performance is amazing.
