| The Bottom Line | 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. | Bose's Wave Music System improves upon the original in both design and performance. | Boston Acoustics' sublime-sounding MicroSystem CD is a better value than the identically priced Bose counterpart. | Hailed by audiophiles as one of the greatest tuners ever, the Sony XDR-F1HD is arguably the best--and most affordable--way to add HD radio to any stereo system. | Although some people will love its design and simplicity, the Bose Acoustic Wave Music System II doesn't offer the sound quality or features of its competitors--and it's way more expensive. |
