Cambridge Soundworks Model 88 Mini System

Pros: Great bass sound. Solidly built. Easy to use. Excellent value.

Pros: Great sound, great controls.
Cons: None

I found out about (Soundworks) Kloss-88 while researching the similar bose radio. The kloss cost half as much and IMHO is a better radio. The sound and reception are great. But just as importantly, it is easy to use. With so many electronics products...

Pros: Inexpensive compared to Bose. Good sound. Small size. Nice remote.
Cons: Bland styling.

This great little radio does everything that the Bose Wave does, for half the price. Comes with a nice credit card sized remote. Good reception, good sound. Analogue inputs in the back, so you can connect a CD player, MP3 player, or use it as you computer sound system.
