Cambridge Soundworks Model 88 Mini System: Simply the Best

Fri, 25 Jan 2002 13:01:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jawtek - Ok, I confess. I am a radioholic. I used to design commercial radios for a living. I am now a patent attorney who spends long hours in his office alone, pushing paper, with the radio playing in the background all day long. So I am not your typical...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mfrankel - I decided over the holidays to get a small stereo/CD system for my office. I narrowed my selection to three choices: a Bose Wave ($500); Cambridge Soundworks Model 88CD ($229); or a "mini" system with separate speakers ($250 to $350). The Model 88CD...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shieber - Some of the discussion below may be too technical to be interesting. Sorry, but I thought a few basic points, even if only glossed over, might help provide some useful background. Don't buy hype by basically good application of good technology. That's...

Wed, 28 Feb 2001 19:14:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marklarson - I purchased this radio for a bedroom. Its sound is terrific, it looks nice and the build quality is very high.

Cambridge Soundworks Model 88 Mini System: A Great Little Radio

Sat, 17 Feb 2001 18:35:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheBigPicture - I installed the Model 88 on a high shelf in my master bath after a complete remodel. The only other competing choice was the Bose Wave Radio, but I didn't feel the higher price of the Bose was justified in comparison to the 88. I still have a pair of...

Sat, 10 Feb 2001 21:34:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bigjohn77 - I was initially looking for the BoseWave Radio/CD combo, but the price is never discounted, a tradition that goes against all electronics retailing philosophy. So, in search of audiophile sound quality but not wanting to spend well over $400, I came...

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 01:03:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hardbones - I have the Bose Wave radio and just the the Model 88 for my in-laws. I wish I could trade with them. The sound is fantastic and for the price of $149 for the radio and $350 for the cd radio at HiFi.com it is half the price of the Bose. If you are reading...

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 13:32:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Triedit - I have always enjoyed "Radio's". Even as a child, I have been fascinated with the radio. I own many and would probably be considered a collector.

I had received one of those promo. cards in the mail wanting me to purchase the Bose Wave Radio...

Cambridge Soundworks Model 88 Mini System: Lordy, lordy, what sound!

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 02:23:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sulphur - Since there isn't a spot for 88CD reviews, this seems like a good place since the CD model is almost identical sound-wise to the model 88.

I have read many reviews of the 88 and 88CD and though all are complimentary, most seem rather sterile...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adjensen - I'm working in another city from where I live and I opted not to bring any of my audio equipment with me when I left. A friend had been pushing the Bose Wave Radio, so I went to a factory outlet store to check it out.

I thought that the sound...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bmason - Thinking about the Bose Wave Radio? Forget it. The Cambridge Soundworks Model 88 beats the Bose hands down in the sound test and costs only about half as much!

The sound that emanates from this shoebox-sized contraption must be heard to...

Sat, 1 Jul 2000 18:51:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Windowphobe - The designs of Henry Kloss have been part of my life for over a quarter-century. I'm still using KLH Model Thirty-Eight speakers, a slightly smaller version of Kloss' original two-way acoustic-suspension system, which I bought way back in 1974. The...

Cambridge Soundworks Model 88 Mini System: Model 88 ---Watch out Bose!

Thu, 21 Oct 1999 16:24:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Huttman78 - I love the Model 88 Radio. It has such good sound for the price. It has really deep, adjustable bass and great sound separation. It doesn't sound like a table top radio, but 2 large speakers.

I love the small (tiny) remote that comes with it...
