One change could make it a 5 Star.......2007-08-20

All the 5 star ratings are correct in their review that radio is top notch in sound (though a little boomy for some music types), style, and ease of use.

Only 4 stars because power switch should be like Tivoli's. Can be annoying to click through AM to get to FM side. I still believe this is the best of the bucn (Tivoli, Bose, BA).

Good Alternative to Tivoli and BA.......2007-06-08

This is a viable alternative to the Tivoli and Boston Acoustics models. Tivoli (to my ears) is best sounding of bunch. Boston Acoustics has two alarms and digital display. But both are $30-$60 more. Sangean has great FM reception; perhaps more bass than one would like (for classical and NPR news). Recommended.

one of the best hi fi table radios.......2007-05-17

This is without doubt one of the best table radios in regards to build quality, reception and sound quality. Competitive with Tivoli, Boston, Bose and others. Probably the best value overall among these. I replaced a 50 watt stereo receiver with high end stereo speakers with this to save space and with very good results. Tone level adjustments would be nice but not critical with proper placement depending on room acoustics. Highly recommended.

Fits the bill.......2007-05-13

I bought this radio for an elderly person whose eyesight is limited. Digital controls were impossible to cope with, but this radio was simple to turn on and tune. The sound quality is excellent. Only quibble I have is that the "walnut" cabinet turned out to be a light color more like birch, but that doesn't matter in this case. The recipient is quite pleased.

Excellent product for the money. Delivery was fast and the sound is superb.

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sangean's WR-1 radio is the culmination of the company's 30 years of experience in the design and manufacture of state-of-the-art radios. This beautifully crafted retro-looking single-speaker radio was designed to create the warm rich tones normally found only in larger, more expensive home stereos. Specially designed circuitry and a custom-made, large-magnet speaker combine forces in an attractive and acoustically corrected wood cabinet.

The black-finished MDF (medium-density fiberboard) cabinet will accent any room in your home or office. Simple to operate with three conventional knobs, the 3-inch speaker and 7-watt amplifier easily fill a room with pure, undistorted sound, even at high listening levels. The radio houses built-in FM and AM antennas, but you can use optional external antennas too, via the WR-1's rear-panel antenna terminals.

Inclined to listen in the car? Just hook it up with an optional 9 to 14V vehicle DC/AC adapter. An auxiliary input lets you hook up a CD or MP3 player, and you can feed the WR-1's record output to a cassette deck (or even a quarter-inch reel-to-reel machine, if you still have one) for preserving favorite radio shows for subsequent listens.

You'll also appreciate the unit's soft, precision analog tuning, rotary tuning and volume controls, and handy tuning LED indicator. Dynamic bass compensation enhances the speaker's bass output, and a headphone jack lets you listen in private.

Great Sound.......2007-05-30

Easy to Use Controls, Good reception, Great Sound - so I bought a second one!

Sanjean WR-1 FM/AM Wood-Cabinet Radio.......2007-03-12

This is a really good radio. The reception quality is excellent. I bought this radio as a gift for my son and he's really pleased with it. I am happy I made this purchase.

Wonderful Radio with Lighted Slide Tuning.......2007-01-23

Great Sound with a wonderful LIGHTED slide tuner dial. It's great to have a lighted dial that works and looks like they did in the old days. I own a GE Super Radio (no lighted dial), a Bose Wave, a ccRadio Plus and three other various Sonys and this sounds better than any of them. Give me this radio and the GE for portability and I'm set.
I finally found the radio I've been looking for!

poor sound quality, high price, good style.......2007-01-12

I ordered this mainly because of other reviews that were very good. As the reviews said, the bass is too much, the reception is very good, and the construction is very solid. The thick wood makes it wonderfully heavy for a such a small item. The bass is excellent but too much and it's not adjustable. Tape over the back port reduces the bass, but it's really awful sound quality anyway you look at it unless you admire the cars that go "thump-thump" in the hood. Why get this non-portable thing when you can get much better sound from a GE superadio from radio shack for $55? If you like small size, solid construction, good reception, and too much bass, then it's a best buy. But really i have a $12 sony pocket radio that sounds better. Hasn't sangean ever heard of this wonderful thing called treble? I like bass as much as the next person, but this is just poor sound quality. It's mainly just a style item. The style is perfect except for the grill over the speaker. They should have used a metal hole type instead of plastic with slots. I remember all those cheap radios that used to use the plastic slots over the speaker. All the good ones have metal holes. This is not for someone seeking accurate sound reproduction. I'll have to read the reviews again to make sure all these 5's are not employees. I'm sending it back because i don't like getting cheated.
======
Update: 3 stars instead of 1. After realizing it wouldn't be easy to return it, i kept it and actually I kind of like it now. The bass (base?) is still too much, but i grew accustomed to it I would now rate the device a 3 instead of 1. Also, fafter more testing with the GE device, I decided it was kind of cheap. By far the best value is a Sony ICF-36 which is a thinner and much lighter portable analog radio for $18. Four AA batteries last 20 to 40 hours and the sound is great (which is why analog tuning is better than digital). Although the bass in the sony isn't as good as this sangean, the treble is better. I bought four of them for 3 places in the house and a spare. Our AA rechargeable batteries last so long, we never bother to plug them up.

FM Great AM Not so great.......2006-07-14

The title of this review says it all. AM reception is better than average but I hear all sorts of funny high pitched hisses with AM. FM is perfect. Also, when used as a speaker for a device with a headphone jack it won't act as a radio until you unhook the cable.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Product.......2004-01-10

I was iniatially sceptical of the sound quality considerning the price, but after comparing with more expensive JAMO , KEF, ONKYO, YAMAHA speakers I was totally seduced by the quality of these speakers. This truly deserves all 5 stars. I am already awaiting for my 2nd set for the office!

Great value.......2003-11-12

I put this system in my living room which is about 300 square feet and these speakers are ridiculous. The brick mortar in my condo literally flakes off the surface from the bass. The surround is awesome and you have to be pretty into music to say that the highs are lacking. I listen to music with the system and have absolutely no complaints. I recommend it to everyone.

Superb Sound!!.......2003-07-11

I wanted nice sound at an affordable price. I asked for a recommendation from a family member who designs and installs home theaters. They highly recommended JBL. I didn't think I could touch the price of a JBL speaker system. And when I saw the SCS150 system I was perhaps a little skeptical as to whether I was getting a bottom of the line system from JBL. I can tell you that they are absolutely fantastic! And what does that family member think who deals with home theater every day, you may wonder? They share the same view. Don't be afraid of this system, you'll be extremely happy if you want superb sound at an affordable price!

Excellent for Movies, but ..........2003-06-06

When it comes to movies, these speakers are amazing. Like being in a theatre all by yourself. You can hear every word clearly through the centre speaker, and the subwoofer can shake the house if you're not careful.

However, it is less than amazing for music, as it is deficient in the tweeter category, so your treble gets lost.

Movie buffs and gamers can rejoice - music fans won't be ecstatically happy.

Highly recommended speakers.......2003-05-26

I just installed these speakers and I'm really amazed at the quality of the sound in comparison to the price. I have a 20' by 20' living area and I think these speakers are just perfect for filling the room with sound. The subwoofer is especially good (my 17 year old loves it turnedfull up!). I highly recommend this product.

Da-Lite Infrared Frequency Remote Control for Horizon Electrol 110 Volt

Product Features:

Tensioned Horizon with High Contrast Audio Vision fabric and 110 volt motor.

Optimum Viewing of Multiple Video Image Formats. Excellent for video projection applications. Screen is tensioned for an extra flat surface for optimum image quality. The Horizon Electrol is the first screen available allowing four position masking with the touch of a button.

Tab guide cable system maintains even lateral tension to hold surface flat while a custom slat bar with added weight maintains vertical tension. Careful engineering ensures that masking remains flush against the surface of the screen, preventing distracting shadows around the projected image compliments of unique "step-back" masking. Equipped with a six-button wall switch, you can automatically open and close the screen, halt operation and position the screen into any of the four aspect ratios.

High Contrast Audio Vision shares the same optical characteristics as the High Contrast Da-Mat material, this surface is designed to provide the viewer with a more realistic soundstage by placing speakers behind the screen and allowing the sound to be transmitted through the material. This screen surface is best used when there is good control of ambient lighting and a moderately wide viewing angle is desired. Gain 0.8 with 45-degree half viewing angle.

ASIN: B000293H1S

Product Description

The average American spends four hours a day watching television. Why stare at a box on a shelf when you could bask in the glow of a multiple aspect ratio projection screen. Meet the Horizon Electrol available in both tensioned and non-tensioned versions for a viewing experience second to none. The Horizon was engineered with the serious home theater enthusiast in mind - a home theater that alternates between a standard video broadcast followed by a movie in Cinemascope format and everything in between. Enjoy your DVD in the format the directors filmed them in, video, HDTV, Letterbox or Cinemascope. Ceiling recessed with patented motor-in-the roller technology, optional low voltage control to connect to third party control as well as an optional network ready capability and masking that "steps back" to prevent shadowing make this the screen unbeatable. When you're finished, hit the button and the screen is out of the way and safely in the case. Before you spend the money on a flat screen, keep this in mind - our smallest screen dwarfs the largest flat screen, and our projection surfaces make flat panel televisions look downright chunky.
