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.

Avideo...Ah, yes. But would they all fit inconspicuously on a small table? In some cases that would be important.
NHT speakers that will blow the Bose Wave system away

Nice suggestion, Avideo - the NHT Moo/Soo are popular in pro audio circles for hooking up to a PC. Chuck Ainlay (Dire Straits Audio Engineer) uses them. No doubt better than Bose....if you own a PC and want great sound while surfing Audiogon forums then this is definitely the way to go!
"have the all new Bose Acousic Wave Music System 2 and Its the best small system on the market! You can even compare it with BIG home stereo systems up to $5,000.00 ! "

LOL, perspective is everything; and I bet you can compare the Bose to home systems costing 2 million dollars but the question that is not answered is HOW well it compared. I installed a tube in my Wave system and it was so much better after that mod....i became very emotional after the mod. Actually its more of a hole than a tube :)

Just built a console with a Car stereo head unit and scan- speak drivers solid walnut caseb (built 2nd party) for less than $500, CD time and MP 3 remote and nothing listed above comes close. CD Changer and sub optional.

FOR PC guys Blue Sky is better than NHT and costs less, the amps are built into the subwoofer, very easy to get great 2.1-5.1 SOUND

While I was sipping the last of the Kool-Aid this statement struck me as odd for the first time..

"the audiophile marketplace doesn't demand that price be reasonable by mass market standards, it does demand that price should correlate in some identifiable way with sound quality."
Thanks for the input guys. Small, compact, is what I'm looking for so I'm not considering separates - not yet at least.
Cambridge SoundWorks makes a whole series of radios now starting at around $120 and going up to around $400. I had their old Model 88 and it was superb for the money.

Polk Audio makes the iSonic and, for about the same as a Wave radio, it throws in additional capabilities like XM plug-and-play and a DVD player.
