Default Bose Acoustic Wave

My requirements are as follows:
smallish unit similar in size to the Bose
radio
clock
alarm
decent sound quality for listening to classical music
cd player
preferably in one box unit
I had a look at the Pure Legato which is small and does everything
except the speakers are separate units. I suppose that would be OK if
they are small. I have an excellent sound system in my living room but
would like a compact one for use elsewhere and in particular the
bedroom. I am willing to pay more than the Legato in order to get a
really good sound and the reason I mentioned the Bose was because it
had an excellent review a few years ago in Gramophone magazine.
However I realise that since then
things have probably changed.


My father has owned Bose stuff for years and seems to swear by it.
Personally, I think it sounds OK, but is overpriced for what it is.

Having said that, he has got one of these Bose Wave players on his boat
and, for what it is, and what it does, it is the business. I havent
heard anything in one box which sounds anything like it. Still seems
bloody expensive though, but if the alternatives are nowhere near as
good......
