Bose wave radio

I have had this radio with build in cd player for 3 years now and i LOVE IT.it was a little on the pricey side when i first bought it but is was worth it.the quality of this radio is great.The sound is awesome.when i was pregnant i used it a lot to play classical music and at times if i was laying down i would really feel as if i had the orchestra right in front of me.it also has an alarm which is great because you set what you want it to play when you wake up but it does it little by little.it starts off low and then the volume starts rising.this is great becuase there are people that will not wake up right away.the only negative that i have about this radio is the fact that you can only use with a remote control.my daughter actually lost it once and we had to go back to BOSE to buy a whole new remote.other then that the radio in itself is great, quailty you couldn't ask for anything more.
