Default Bose Wave Radio - What's Your Opinion ?

John S.,

Haven't found a so-called High End 'Quality' Sound Radio
with a good AM Radio Tuner and I have bought and give
away or returned several to date.
* Tivoli Model One
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...alty/1969.html
* Sangean Wood Radio - WR1
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...alty/4394.html
* Bose Wave Radio
http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/ca.../sku__JS314GPH

CURRENTLY - I am using a Cambridge SoundWorks # 740 Radio CD
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=3656992
* CD Sounds Good
* FM Radio Tuner works OK with an out-side Antenna
* AM Radio Tuner is lousy even with an out-side Antenna
Even down in the SF Bay Area the AM Tuner is a 'pos'

BAD "LOUSY" AM RADIO TUNERS :
At best the all the AM Radio Tuners are poor in my opinion;
while the FM Radio Tuners are usually very good for Local
FM and FM-Stereo Radio reception.

NEED - A Table Top AM / FM Radio with CD Player that :
# 1 - 'looks nice' and can not be complicated
# 2 - "Sounds Great"
# 3 - Has a very Good AM and FM Radio Tuner
For the Kitchen Radio in Twain Harte, CA.

NOTE - These Radios do not 'qualify' {Looks} :
* GE SuperRadio III
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...alty/0547.html
* CC Radio Plus
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...alty/4403.html
* Etón S350 DL Deluxe
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0036.html
* Eton E1 AM/FM/SW/XM Radio
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0101.html
* Grundig Satellit 800
http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0800.html

whats you opinion as to a good table radio ? ~ RHF

Overpriced for what it is and I find the audio overemphasizes bass to
the point it loses clarity. It will sell well in gadget filled stores
like Brookstone and Sharper Image.

Simpler radios like the Boston Acoustics, Sangean and Tivoli have
decent sound and do a good job tuning strong stations on FM and AM but
they are not weak signal radios.

QUESTION - Is there an AM / FM Radio and CD Player {Combo}
out there like the Bose Wave Radio that Sounds 'Super' Good
and has a Real "Quality" AM and FM Radio TUNER ?

I had the use of a Bose Wave Radio for a while
* Great Sounding CD Player
* Lousy AM/FM Radio Tuner

the-bottom-line - decided not to buy one ~ RHF
