Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo, an excellent product. I hesitated to order this radio because of the one negative rating available at the time. I received the radio today, and I am delighted with it. Since it is new, perhaps the other reviewer just happened to receive a "lemon".
I am a professional musician, accustomed to very high quality sound equipment in recording studios where I have worked. I also have a sound system at home which cost thousands of dollars.
I expected a clock radio which would function in that capacity, ...

fm static Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo High Performance AM/FM Clock Radio (Midnight)
I like everything about this radio except the FM tuner , the heat it makes, and the odor. It pulls in distant stations well but with static. This is a common problem easily improved by changing from stereo to mono but this radio does not have that option! It makes a lot of heat when off, indicating it is not Energy Star compliant. Tech support says they cannot tell me how many watts it uses when off or on. And i...

great sounds--a little complcated I had the older BA Receptor radio and just loved it. I bought this one for my mother as a Mom's day gift, and the sound was superior, it also has a great capacity to pull in FM stations. However, i was saddened that it was a more complicated to use. With the old one, one button controlled volume, and one controlled tuning/presets. That's it; easy as pie. The new one while offering more makes it more difficult to move between presets. I also do not like the sleep function on this one as well.<...

I'm disappointed Considering Boston Acoustics reputation I had high expectations, but this unit had a bad case of transformer hum. I sent it back for an exchange and the replacement hummed even louder that the original. Also, the reception was far from perfect. I finally sent it back for a refund but in the process incurred two shipping charges.

Great Stereo Sound at This Price Point I already own two Boston Acoustic Horizon Solos, which I bought on Amazon for about $85. One is in the bedroom and the other is in the workout room. My friend urged me to get the two-speaker Duo, so I finally capitulated and use it in the kitchen. My review will be based on my comparison between the $85 Solo and the $115 Duo.
Speaker Sound: The Duo wins. While I love the Solo's full high-fidelity sound, the Duo speakers really fill the kitchen with ease.
AM Reception: I'd ...

HOME RUN! Exactly what I've wanted in bedside audio I've had this product for two days, and I've had a super out-of-box experience so far. Great build quality, and just the right amount of features, solidly presented. Knob control is great and menu is intuitive.
FM reception is excellent- 4-foot whip antenna is included (I'm on the second floor--BUT there's a set of high-tension cables 100 feet away from the building, which often causes signal interference). Display dims or brightens automatically by default, but this is also control...

Good Sound...Great Value You know that you bought the real deal right out of the box. The shipping weight of this radio is 11 lbs with the bulk of that weight in the speakers. The sound quality is excellent and the radio sensitivity is very good. The controls take some time to get used to (a lot less time if you read the instructions first!!). The clock/alarm portion of the radio works well too with multiple alarms for those "hard to start" mornings.
The only detail that I don't care for is the FM "antenna...

Excellent product, except for the tuner I purchased this for my bedroom for use on a shelf with a cd player and an iPod. I've lived with it for 2 months now and had the chance to use it quite a bit. The build quality seems quite good and it has all of the essential features you could want in a mini stereo system, including a neat little remote. The controls are fairly easy to use and the design is uncluttered. One minor quibble is that the top is slanted, so stacking anything on top of it can be a problem if you're tight on space....

Boston Acoustics Radio - FANTASTIC! Fantastic product. I am a retired Musician/Public School Music teacher witha lot of high end audio and electronic equipment. For a table radio this can't be beat. The sound quality is excellent and placing the volumn high to reach other rooms does not change that. I think this is far better sounding than the BOSE I almost purchased. A visiting friend was so impressed with this product, that he ordered one the next day!

Great Radio Great sound for such a small unit and the reception is very good. The LCD can be dimmed to neer off so sleeping should'nt be a problem. Very easy to use and set presets and bass & treble make a big sound difference.
