Agreed.  The Wave Radio has a thoroughly ordinary tuner section and is
only noteworthy because of its unique method of improving bass
response--and its artificially-high selling price.

I'm not, for the reasons noted above.  The Wave Radio is less a
state-of-the-art device and more of a Sharper Image-type status symbol
curio.  I'll take the classic Proton table radio anyday!

Take care,
