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.

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.
About a month ago I spent half an hour in Target comparing the Boston Acoustics Recepter radio and the Sony table radio that Sam Tellig spilled ink on. I like the BA better, especially its design, but wouldn't spend the money charged for these on either one. The Sony sounded too nasal, congested and electronic with a grainy texture, and it distorted too early as the volume was turned up; the tone control didn't help much. The BA I think could have been very good, but unfortunately they mostly ruined it by going for an over-exagerated response curve that recesses the upper midrange and way overboosts the bass in a misguided attempt to play to the peanut gallery. If this EQ could be adjusted to make it more level by only a few dBs it could be a real winner for its size, but there's no way to fool with the fixed setting. So, too bad -- I might've bought the BA otherwise -- but as things stand neither radio is a zit on the butt of the vintage KLH and Advent table radio models for enjoyable sound.
