Table radio options for kids room

My wife wants a decent table radio for the new baby's room. She was thinking about the Bose Wave Radios but I've heard them and wasn't impressed. As an alternative I was looking at the Cambridge Soundworks and the Tivoli Music System. We're looking for one that has a CDP and iPod connectivity. Anyone have any experience with either of these units? The Tivoli looks like a nice piece and I've always heard good things about them.

Of course eventually my expectation is that I'll have the only little girl in the neighborhood that knows the difference between an EL34 and a 6CG7, but we've got to start somewhere.

Cheers

Hey Grimace, I think it's been proven that anything less than a McIntosh Integrated with electrostatic speakers and top DAC can be dangerous for a child's development.

Don't let her hear Bose in this delicate time in her life or we may have no choice but to seek the help of CPS.

Well, I make the assumption that she'll graduate to a flea watt 300b for her 4th birthday.

Anyone else on the Tivoli? I will check out the Sangean though. Thanks!

I suggest the Boston Acoustics Duo-i AM/FM Radio with iPhone iPod doc priced at $249.99.

The Duo-i plus AM/FM Stereo Radio with iPhone iPod dock delivers big-system performance in a stylish compact package. See
