The Bottom Line	Although it's expensive, this product integrates PC-based and broadcast music playback very smoothly.	Bose's Wave Music System improves upon the original in both design and performance.	While its built-in DVD player is going to disappoint videophiles, the Polk Audio I-Sonic sounds impressive for its size and offers a bevy of cool features not found on competing tabletop audio systems.	Plenty of volume and tonal control make the TSX-10 a winner even before you count its above-average design and features.	Boston Acoustics' sublime-sounding MicroSystem CD is a better value than the identically priced Bose counterpart.
