Yeah, $200 is pricey... but she was originally asking for the Bose Wave Radio.... makes this look like a bargain!! Another thing I thought was cool is that you can add a 2nd speaker (for stereo) and a subwoofer later on. I think with all those extras, it's still cheaper than the Bose, and from what I've read, sounds tons better.

She *really* likes waking up to NPR, and her clock radio broke a while ago. I'm really hesitant to put up that kind of cash for a mono clock radio, though - as you can imagine
