The MicroSystem CD takes tabletop performance to the next level, with big, rich sound you never thought possible in a system this size. It's an elegant, allinone package so versatile it's perfect as a bedside alarm clock, a roomfilling stereo, or even stereo sound for your TV. It even has convenient front inputs for your iPod® or other MP3 player.Boston Acoustics has the Bose market firmly in its sights with this onebox hifi. Let's face it, Bose has had things all its own way with stylish, minimalist units such as the Wave Music System, so it's about time someone tried to take a slice of the pie.This soundbox packs a CD player - with MP3/WMA playback - an FM/AM radio, stereo speakers, and an alarm clock all in a solid, classy white unit. The screen's a big, whiteonblue backlit LCD that's easy to read from across the room. A nice design touch is the folddown door on the front that hides the CD drawer and houses the slim remote.Sound quality is on a par with the Bose system. It handles dance and classical music equally well, although it's a little hardedged with rock bands such as Maximo Park. Radio reception is superb, even with the supplied aerial, but it's a shame there's no DAB tuner. Unlike the Wave Music System, it can all be controlled without the remote.This is an excellent product, whether it's used as a compact stereo or a CD alarm clock. Boston has beaten Bose at its own game.
