Badabing, you are getting a bit over-zealous there.badabing said:For future reference instead of wasting money on this crap and other substandard units such as bose why not buy something decent with less money. heres how;
Amplifier under 50 Euro;

Get it on e-bay, also need power supply like that for lap top computers; 30 Euro
Speakers
[broken link removed]
or something similar (check out the buy and sell - will get a good pair for under 200 euro)
CD player or mp3 player of your choice
Total price less than the Bose or creative stereo. With these rip off's you get loads of bass and high treble with the mid range cut out, sinful behaviour..
You are correct - the discussion started about the Bose Wave CD/Radio system, but digressed to discuss amps and speakers and Bose in general - the 3-2-1 system was mentioned already.badabing said:The bose wave system in mind is a cd player for music no? If so we are referring to music reproduction and I will reiterate; bose are crap from a point of view of the fundamentals. Sure the subwoofer will give you some mid range, but only a muddy unrealistic version of the real thing. In order to sharpen the sound treble and bass they create gaps in the mid range (anything within these frequencies is completely removed)
Hard to believe, but excellent if true.badabing said:As for the 50 quid sonic audio amp I have one and its better than any amp I've had previously (500 euro range). The sound is fantastic and loads of volume if you want it. You need 90dB+ sensitivity speakers tho (efficiency)
badabing said:The system I have recommended will give a flat (equal response across all frequencies) for less money i.e. excellent sound reproduction, like the sound engineer wants you to hear it. No adjustments allowed for bass or treble, just accurate sound reproduction. Bose do not even attempt to do anything like that, they sell a lie, which is why many audiophiles hate them!
Hmmm.badabing said:Furthermore....a good system like this will give excellent sound imaging...i.e. will project the sound in 3D...no need for any surround sound nonsense anymore either!
Thanks for posting the review - it is certainly interesting reading. Unfortunately, it's a long way from a ringing endorsement of the T Amp, but the the price is certainly right! The chip-based switching amp technology certainly seem to be one to watch, though.badabing said:The bose may have a high WAF (wife acceptance factor) but so does the sonic impact amp...it fits in the palm of your hand. I'm wouldn't go this far cos I don't have a 10 grand amp..but people are comparing it to valve amps in this price range! Here's another review;
And check out those Klipsch speakers..don't tell me they would'nt look good in your sitting room!
Sunday Times review recently said that the Bose system was great - as a clock radio but nothing else. got one star out of 5
MB: Sunday Times 17th December
5* Arcam Solo/Alto - typically €1790 with speakers (rock star)
4* Denon S-81 music system - typically €900 (style guru)
4*Onkyo CS-515DAB - typically £300 ( fun sized marvel)
4*Teac CD-X9 -typically €225 ( spare room songbird)
3* B&O Beosound 1 - Typically €1480 (emperors clothes)
2* Bose Wave music system - typically €670 ( clock this)
1) apologies for deducting the star in above post
2) almost bought that Onkyo system in currys in Newry last week but luckily settled on much cheaper mini hi fi system ( reason other posters have pointed out in a different thread -the UK DAB system is out of date and will be switched off in 7/8 years) the price in currys was £300 and it was the only system in the report with a sterling price tag.
Are you sure this was the 3-2-1 as the recent poster(addob) inquired about and not the wave radio (as per the thread subject)?
To answer addob's question, if you go to videohelp.com and search for Bose in the region hacks area there are some entries posted.
