Bose Wave music system (platinum white)

Pros: plug & play easy & works out of the box

Cons: no user adjustments on bass & treble

Summary: One solid performer is the Bose Wave Music system. I have many cd & all of different music types & it handles the majority of them quite well. The real selling point of a Bose system is ease of use & good sound. They don't have user controls for bass & treble & depending on what your looking for can be a good thing or bad. If you are a demanding listener & like rock than I would have to mention that bass is OK not great. On pop/country & classical I'd say the Bose is setup pretty well and would mention positioning of the equipment is essential, closer to a wall will bring up the bass. If your a casual listen of cd & radio this may well be what you looking for as the sound is quite good & stereo separation is very good. Bose has a great ability to give the highs & lows a well defined stage to reproduce on, it's just the real lows that could use some help. Bose excels in the remote deparment as it is simple stright forward layout & nothing about it is confusing. This is a good piece of equipment that can satisfy any listener other than the audiophile if you fit in that area you will not go wrong here. In conclusion this is a good machine that produces good sound & is easy to use. Just don't expect to be able to adjust what your hear but you will get an honest sound from the Bose...
