Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of BoseŽ WaveŽ music system multi-CD changer, Graphite GrayCustomer Review: Noisy slow CD changes Summary: 3 Stars
I have never been picky or knowledgeable about stereos, but I stayed in a hotel in Boston that had a Bose clock radio and really loved the sound. I got the basic Wave music system (the clock radio I heard in Boston which now comes with one CD slot) and the multi CD changer for Christmas a year ago. The two parts come boxed separately and each comes with the small-ish remote, so you start with a spare remote which is great. (I keep one in a drawer for emergencies when I lose the main one). Also, extra remotes are only $10 with free shipping - super nice I think, most high end sellers don't give you a break on anything.
My main issue with the multi CD changer is that it is so slow and noisy when changing CDs that I actually thought it must be faulty/broken. I mean, what is going on in there?! It is the sound of a heavy duty piece of machinery doing a heavy lifting job. HOPEFULLY (although other reviews do not bode well) that heavy machinery is also sturdy and problem-free. My other issue is that for the cost, I'd think it would hold maybe 6 CDs instead of 3.
The remote is easy to use even for someone with no patience for such things - it is easy to set play modes for repeat, shuffle, etc. And the system is beautiful. Also surprisingly heavy - again, I hope there's a great motor in there doing the work. But it would be nice to at least have an on/off switch for when you are in a hurry and don't want to hunt down the remote.
I still love it, but I'm disappointed that they are all like mine so I can't exchange it for a quick, quiet one. If Bose wants to generate some real customer loyalty, they will improve the speed/noise issue and let those of us with the first generation changer get the new one for a nice discount if we bring in our old one.
