Call it nostalgia, but I want to buy a radio. Yup, just a plain radio.
Usually I listen to the radio online. But lately I've been having a hankering to listen to the radio the old fashioned way - you know, by pressing one switch on a box on my office desk.
The first thing I usually do when I'm buying a new gadget is check out what Consumer Reports has to say. Sure enough, they had a review of high end radios. Here's their conclusion:
Bose, the most recognizable name in this niche, is at the high end of the category, with its $350 Wave Radio and $500 Wave Radio/CD. Rival products from Boston Acoustics, Cambridge SoundWorks, and Tivoli Audio sell for $100 to $250--considerably less than the Bose, but still pricey for table radios. The question is: Do high-priced radios deliver?
Our tests yielded a resounding yes. Radios from Bose and its three competitors produced clear, smooth sound with decent bass. The audio was far superior to the typical clock radio’s, but not quite as full and rich as that of a component system or even a top-notch minisystem.
Ok, if I want to spend a couple of hundred dollars it sounds like Bose, Boston Acoustics, Cambridge SoundWorks, and Tivoli Audio all make a good product. Not sure if I want to spend that much though. I'll keep digging and see what I can find for under $100.
