Bose Corporation has been in the tabletop radio/music system business since 1984.The newest result of its efforts, the Bose Music Wave System, offers the same simplicity for which its products are well known for. Instead of the previous version's top-loading CD player, this new version has a front-loading one. In addition to that, there are no longer buttons on the front. Instead, you control the system by use of a small remote that handles both the stereo's CD and radio functions. The buttons on the remote are clearly labeled for ease of use. Unfortunately, the size of the remote makes it very easy to lose.
One of the objectives that the Bose Corporation had with the Bose Music Wave System was to decrease its size while improving the quality of the sound. They managed to achieve this goal, to the point that its speakers are of better quality than many other more expensive systems. However, the remote does not have any control over the loudness of the treble or the bass. If you feel that there is an imbalance between these two, you are out of luck.
Another good selling point for the Bose Music Wave System is that it sports a 30-day free trial period. Therefore, if you are unhappy with the lack of buttons, the quality of the sound, or anything else, you have a chance to return it, free of charge. The clock on the system is quite handy where you can set alarms and wake up to CD or radio music. You also have a choice in color between platinum white and slate gray.
