Bose Wave System Alternatives

[jenic]

My dad just called me asking if he should buy one, and as much as I love the Bose kit I own myself, I cannot bring myself to suggest he buys one as it's very expensive for what it is and how he'll use it.

He wants a CD/DAB/FM player, with built in speakers, that sounds good, is easy to use (clear screen/buttons) and is small enough to move between rooms. Budget is flexible, clearly he's willing to shell out £600 but personally I'd rather it was half that or less.

Could anyone recommend good alternatives?

Thanks for that, actually ended up going for the 100 version as didn't need the recording feature. Sadly it wasn't on display at my local JL but ordered off Amazon anyway off the back of the reviews.

No probs. Roberts have a pretty good reputation and don't cost the earth like Bose.

Does he need the cd function? How about the Soundtouch 20? Had mine a few years now and love plus it's so easy to move room to room and the app works well with spotify/apple etc

CD was essential yes, I did look at Ruark but they are quite expensive too.
Anyway, he has the Roberts now, I played around with it today and I'm impressed by it for the money. Sound quality is great and it's very easy to use
