Want Nice table radio cd player to replace bose

My mom has had a Bose radio for years
It recently broke
I am not a fan

I recall in the mid 80s proton have a wonderful table radio

Her space is limted and its kitchen listening. Good sound not schlock is what I am striving for and not too complicated. She doesnt do bluetooth (deep blue rocks) or ipod, maybe something with cds and a usb plug in

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Tom

Have you looked at the Meridian M80?

Great build quality and great sound.

They can be a bit hard to find, but most who are familiar with it consider the M80 the ultimate Table Radio/Receiver.

Hope that helps,

Cambridge Soundworks always had a decent knock-off of the Bose so you might check their website. The company was founded by Henry Kloss of Advnet, KLH and AR.

You may want to check out Tivoli Audio. I've owned a Model Two for almost 10 years, and it is compact with nice sound. Much better than Bose (have one of those, too) or Proton (owned one in the '80's):
