Bose - Wave Radio II Review

How can a bargain hunting gadget freak buy a Bose Wave Radio II, heck the one I got is pricey, has a single cd player (no changer) charges extra for the iPod dock and headphones and 3 disc changer (what planet are these guys from)  It has its problems as an intuitive device and did I mention that its pricey. 

But for some reason, I love it.  Maybe its the clean crisp sound.  Maybe its the fact that I love to listen to my mp3s through its iPod dock.  Maybe its because it connects faultlessly with my Bose Surround Sound Home Theatre (another overpriced, under featured system, I still love for some unknown reason).  These are both items I can't fully understand why I love, but I do.  Maybe its the thoughtful touches like the battery backup on the clock that means even when the power blips in the middle of the night it still wakes me for work the next morning.  The small little remote that is well designed and did I mention small, the night table form factor that still provides a big stereo seeming sound from a somewhat clunky and now oldfashioned appearing one piece design.

I truly don't get it entirely, but I do know I love my Bose stuff despite the price.
