Boston Acoustics Duo
I purchased this product a couple of months ago and have had nothing but positive results. I initially purchased the solo, which was also impressive, but wanted to have ipod docking capacity. The sound is rich and full, the controls are simple and easy to use, and the look is clean and professional. I would recommend this product and would buy again from Boston Acoustics.

Very good table top radio. Highly recommended. Top of its Genre.
The sound out of the Boston Acoustics tabletop radio is among the very best I have heard for a table top clock radio. It is not quit as large as the measurements make it seem, which is good as it does still occupy a significant part of my night stand. Just not as much as you would think looking at the measurements. I expected it to be overwhelming, but an extra inch is listed in the measurements that practically isn't there (both Width and Depth) and is not noticable because of trim, etc.

The controls are intuitive and easy to use - including the clock radio. The display can be dimmed quit well and even has a sensor to automatically brighten the display in the light of day. I put electrical tape over the sensor though for constant output as it flickered a little when the ambient light flickered.

The bass and treble are variable, and it has two easily controlled alarms. The minimum bass is pretty substantial though and about as much as I would want, although not uncomfortable. Considering that the bass is adjustable, it would have made more sense for it to be a couple decibals lower at its minimum. It has a remote.

The seductive smooth but powerful sound pulls you in. It would be great in both kitchen, bedroom, workshop/garage, apartment, or even a patio. I have not had it long enough to comment on long term durability.

Aside from great sound, this Duo-i works with an Ipod and numerous bases are supplied for compatability. Radio reception is good. 10 presets are available.

If I were designing it, I would go with just one speaker for a little more space on the nightstand and include real tube sound somehow, and as mentioned, I would have started at a slightly lower minimum bass setting. This Boston Acoustics Duo-I does actually sound close to tube sound though. There is nothing digital, dry, or edgy in its sound.

However, I have a medium nightstand and it fits fine and the double speakers do sound so very sweet and seductive for its size and price. I don't think Bose has much if anyting on it. This radio/ipod player is not just for teenies. This is high quality sound. I had a smaller Sony Dream machine IPOD tabletop, albeit at half price, which is feeble sounding in comparison with its tiny 2 inch speakers and shallow cabinet which were no match for the 3 1/2 inch high performance speakers and deep cabinet supplied with the Boston Acoustics Duo-I.

Some sellers have this model new discounted at substantial savings. It is well worth its full original price though.

Watch out Bose
I love Bose products but for the same sound and 1/2 the price I will buy more of these.

Boston Acoustics Duo_I
The best "Clock/ Stereo-Radio" that I have ever seen or heard....PERIOD. When they say "play smart" they really mean it. The controls were very easy to learn and manipulate...extremely well engineered. This product is a great value for the money. It is exactly what I was looking for. I will buy more...and suggest others do the same...Truly amazing clear/ crisp sound could come from such a small and affordable package!

when it works... It's great!
I had to send my first one back because the sleep feature was acting up. After that, I ran into tons of problems with getting the correct replacement sent back. Electronics Expo was not responsive and messed up the order multiple times. I finally have the correct radio (2-months later) and I hope this one works.
