I have had a Bose radio in my sewing room and have had it for about 10 years now. I love the sound that comes from it. I play my CDs and hook my iPad to it and play my Pandora radio stations. I have tried different speakers and such, and none compare to the Boise sound. If this one dies someday, I will immediately buy another one to replace it. I don't think you can beat the sound quality.
