    I have heard the Bose Wave radio, it's got an excellant tuner 
section with a real 75 ohm external hook up! It also features  
rear RCA connections for a CD player. This radio sounds  
incredable and is attractive, coming in white or smoky grey. 
   The thought has often crossed my mind while driving into
work (my place of employment is right near their factory outlet
store in Kittery, Maine) whether or not their employees receive
a discount, as Bose prices are fixed. LOL! I'm not sure about an 
entire industry being woke up, but I know my eyes open up pretty
wide when I see their prices! Especially the price of this radio!
    I'm surprised a competing load speaker company such as
Cambridge Soundworks, Boston Accoustics or ADS hasn't come
out with a similar unit! Stranger things have happened!

Take Care,
