BigBusa Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I got my significant other a cambridge audioworks 740b table radio. From all the research I've done this is far better than the bose wave radio. http://www.zalmar.com/detail-audio-Cambridge-740B.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkp Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I bought my wife the Bose Acoustimass system. She thought that my RF-7s were a bit tall and too large for our living room, and these little puppies just hide in dark little corners very nicely. Additionally, Bose has some serious space-age technology behind their system which allows for tremendous sound reproduction from a speaker a fraction of the size of my RF-7s. I can't wait for her to open it... David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwatkins Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 A Canon Digital Rebel EOs - we had to open early for holiday gatherings. It is an outstanding camera and I am taken back by quality of this digital SLR - we are going to use the others for B&W only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champagne taste beer budget Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 A bread machine. We had one for years and used it 3-4 times a week till it crapped out this past spring. We both miss the aroma of bread baking and the taste of it fresh and warm. She's not too into cooking, so from scratch bread isn't much to her strong suit, the machine lets us enjoy it without all the hassle other than some measuring, press a button, and presto!!

To remain civil we choose to not reply to f**king idiots that think Bose is a great system Now, Bybee filters is another thing all together...

dkp Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I was actually kidding about the Acousticrap system.

fini Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Last birthday, I gave my wife the Boston Acoustics Recepter clock radio. She LOVES it. Sounds amazingly good. Look and feel is great, too. Funny you mentioned the Bose system. I picked one up (I think it's the Acoustimass 5 Series III) system at Ye Olde thrift shop for $35. Two double cubes, a sub, and a receiver w/remote. I cleaned it up a bit, tested it, and it works fine (for what it is). I will be listing it on eBay tomorrow or Thursday, and the proceeds will be split between my wife (40%) and my two daughters (30% each). I'll give them each "stocking certificates" Christmas morning, indicating the item number. I may make up one certificate, and rip it into thirds, ala "Survivor" treasure hunts. Should be fun!

richr8 Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 DKP-Bose acoustimass?! I saw this late, but i would have said, "I can't believe how lucky some of you are with s/o's that appreciate A/V gear as gifts!" If I tried that stunt (I wouldn't) I would be severely under the bus. Ha ha. I got mine a fine gold necklace, a leather jacket, miscelaneous sweaters and slacks, shoes, books, and partridge in a pair tree. All stuff she liked that she would not buy for herself. Happy Holidays to all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
