Does anyone have one of these? I was thinking about getting one but wanted to know if it was worth the price.

You can get a nice receiver and decent (aka much better than that glorified clock radio) speakers for that price.

Yeah, you can get an excellent receiver instead for half the price.

Don't feel dumb - you've probably heard plenty of praise for it over the years via the radio and print ads, but most people see the light once they actually give it a listen. I think $100 is a more reasonable price.

Extremely well-marketed mediocre performance from inferior components.

You shouldn't...the really dumb guy would've bought one without asking around about it.

Aside from that, IMO : Bose = waaaaay overrated & overpriced.

They get a very good sound for the size and simplicity of it, but they also charge 4x what it's worth. They sound good for what they are... expensive clock radios.

Get you a nice Onkyo receiver and a choice set of upscale bookshelf speakers.
