I should like to buy something simliar to the Bose Acoustic Wave system.

**Thyere is very little to directly compete with the vastly over-priced
Bose clock radio. It actually sounds quite decent, but costs far too much
for what it is. Here's a little test: See if you can buy the Bose at a
discount (apart from the regular 'factory discounts'). You will likely
have real problems in doing so. Bose regularly engage in (illegal) price
maintenance practices. When asking for a discount (try for at least 20%)
you should remind the retailer than you will be approaching the relevant
consumer agency to complain about price maintenance. Maybe they'll lower
the price a little.

Can anyone recommend these or perhaps there are better systems which are
cheaper as these seem very expensive. I am only interested in quality
systems.

**There isn't much to directly compete with the Bose in that SPECIFIC
package. You can easily find better sonic value for money elsewhere,
however.

thanks for all your replies. A lot of them latterly had me completely
confused with all the technical jargon. Perhaps I will take Bose up on
their offer of a 30 day trial unless I find something in the meantime which
qualifies.

Nooooooo!

For that £800 you can buy a very nice system, what about a Teac Reference
300?

**If you do buy the Bose, push VERY hard for a big discount. The scumbags
who sell Bose are making BIG profits. They'll come out with some bull****
story about "tight margins", "restricted supply" some other nonsense. The
truth is far more sinister, however. Bose retailers are stitched up and they
NEVER discount.
