I had to write a review to reinforce everyone else that has written on these speakers. Of course, if you want to go to the trouble, a good subwoofer would remedy the lack of bass to some extent and make these speakers a great all around choice. For rock, hip-hop, tribal drumming, look elsewhere. For jazz, classical, ambient, New Age, vocals, you're good. Look, for the money you're paying for these babies what do you expect? A speaker that can everything? Fat chance! But, for the money, you will hear sounds accurately reproduced with feeling and expression at a level that that rivals much more expensive speakers. I changed CD 's to Yusef Lateef, and while the flute came through with flying colors, the bass and the drum track took a serious drubbing. I'm listening to Oliver Nelson's "Jazz and the Abstract Blues," and the brass reproduces beautifully. If the job is jazz - or other music that accentuates highs and mids - this is the speaker for you! On the other hand, if you're a bass junkie you'll be sorely disappointed. That was hard to figure.My philosophy has always been - You need the right tool for the job. With no external antenna to maneuver, I had to turn the radio on its side to get even a hint of reception. Even though I could tune in some far-off stations with only moderate interference, I had trouble getting any signal out of WTIC-AM, Hartford's 50,000-watt station, from a mere 30 miles a way.
The AM section is not nearly as distinguished. Although you can buy a powered antenna to boost the incoming signal, I had better luck using the simple wire antenna provided by Cambridge SoundWorks that connects to a F-type receptacle on the back panel. You'll pull in even small college stations with only the power cord as an antenna. The FM tuner remains one of the best, and that includes the junk that passes as an AM/FM tuner in audio-video receivers costing up to $1,000. Pressing the AM/FM or CD button or any of the six station preset buttons will do it, as will the customary on/off button.

A series of 19 control buttons are spread across the face of the Model 88CD.

The metal mesh speaker grille covering the two 4-inch drivers now matches exactly the color of the radio. Both radios, Bose and Cambridge SoundWorks, play absurdly loud for their size.įrom its looks, the Model 88CD is built to last a lifetime. This ingenious sub design allows the Model 88s to go deeper than the Bose radios, with their equally ingenious labyrinthine Waveguide design. The subwoofer control on the rear panel should be set once and left alone - just like a full-size subwoofer.

Subwoofer? Kloss designed an internal mini-sub with a 4-inch low-frequency driver powered by a separate amplifier. Although the interior has been realigned slightly, the subwoofer remains. But switching wakeup stations requires changing that preset's memory.ĭespite adding a CD player, the Model 88CD is only 2 1/2 inches deeper than the original 88. If you awake to the same station every day, that's fine. Not so nice: The radio alarm restricts to a single preset the station you awake to. It's nice that the "music" alarm can be set to a specific volume, so you can fall asleep to softer tones and awake to more get-up-and-go volumes. The display can be turned off altogether if you wish, too. The Model 88CD has dual alarms with a delayed sleep timer adjustable from 30 to 90 minutes, a bigger LED readout and even a 24-hour military/international time feature.
