Bose Acoustic Wave® Shelf System

This is the ideal home sound system for anyone, capable of producing a rich stereo tone that can fill almost any size of room. The technology beats me, but I don't need to know how it works, just that it does and I like it!

The fully integrated Acoustic Wave system needs no separate speakers, and adding the 5 CD changer ensures hours of quality sound with almost no effort. Setting it all up is simplicity itself, just two cables to connect and these are colour coded. The FM/AM radio tuner is also simple to operate, with preset stations for your favourites. Two auxiliary inputs allow connection to an MP3 player or other equipment. The credit card sized remote controls even save you walking time.You can even use it as a portable system by purchasing the optional power pack or the power case with its built-in battery supply.

I have bought two of the Acoustic Wave systems, the second was for my father who was blown away with the sound produced from such a small neat package. As a music lover but total technophobe he loves the simplicity of the set-up and its operation - no need to rebalance for different CDs.

Is there a downside? Yes - the CD changer can be very noisy in operation, especially in its "repeat all at random" mode, but this is a minor distraction at most.

Would I change anything? Yes - I would have added a digital radio tuner, but I think Bose are ahead of me with this.

How would I rate the Bose Acoustic Wave? 11 out of 10.

Do your ears a favour - buy one for yourself!
