Anybody here Collect Boombox

[Ken G]

I have a couple big Lasonic boom boxes . One is the famous TRC 931 and looks like it was hardly used . Another slightly smaller silver Lasonic i got from an older lady who used it but never moved it around so its almost new looking . Its got a pretty powerfull amp in it . Its loud ! Then i do have a 90`s JVC with a CD player lid on top . Its got a strange built in sub woofer that sounds better than any other box of its type . Roring deep bass .

a buddy of mine dale has a 1 year old sony boombox with a sub - kinda wierd looking - big - red and and basic.

am/fm - cd - cassette - aux in - remote control.

cost a little over 100 bucks at fred meyers

it sounds really good

There's a web site http://pocketcalculatorshow.com/boombox/ for boomboxes and http://stereo2go.com/6/ubb.x forum for collectors.
One I have (I collect mostly tube radios):

An old one with an 8 track player:

This one is just mono, so it probably doesn't qualify:

and definitely not this one:

This one is just a huge portable AM-FM-SW Sony set:

that sony is too kool lookin

but it is a radio - not a boombox

[markdi]

any one own a jvc kaboom box

I bet they sound pretty good

I bet the bose wave music system is the ultimate boom box - stereo - battery portable with am/fm and cd.
Not the wave radio - the big one.

I am gonna redo this video to try to get a better sound recorded to come through to see if I can make the " presence " of this sould come through in the video ....

I think the newer ones have cd.
No cd - no big deal as every one uses a ipod these days.

How does the bose sound compared to your other boomboxes ?

I bet the bose blows them away.

If it has a CD in it ... I look Elsewhere - Not-interested.
Ipod? TOO Tiny, I've Never heard one accross the street...

Bose has a different sound to it unlike other " boombox's "

Bose Sound is a PRESENCE unlike a boombox throwing the sound outward.

Up close the Bose sound's great but far away you cannot tell the difference between a Bose and a Boombox

Except for the the difference in sound in the Higher frequencies between these different box's

and the fact that Low Bass sound, doesnt have a presence far away coming from a small boombox such as a Bose AW1

Again the difference between A Boombox and a Bose interpretation of a boombox it's all about presence I think

Bose sound's great up close and in a enclosed area but not outside, where its bass presence is lost,

yes you can hear this up close but move away and it's just another noise maker wannbe

a Boombox with it's directly forward firing speakers ... well you know where its sound is going --- but with the bose ....
