I've heard the Bose Wave radio and like it but in my opinion it could do with a bit crisper treble. There is only a Waveguide/Transmission line on one of the speakers. If I were to redesign this, I would have Waveguide loaded both speakers, then attenuated the bass slightly (improve the bass efficiency by loading both sides although the radio would be wider). I would then mount some small horn tweeters facing upwards slightly above the main speakers.
i would know from having a bose wave that the bose wave would win any day, and also in the respect that u cant really do a (see which is better) on the internet because you just wont hear the enthersis of sound comming through the system, you need to be there to respect the sound differences!
Sooooo, it took like 30 years for someone to finally make a clock radio that sounds SLIGHTLY better than Bose. Not to mention it only has one LARGER driver in a much LARGER cabinet. Smaller drivers have better dispersion. I'd rather listen in stereo. Also take into consideration that this is only one type of music, a type Bose probably wasn't designing for. And note how sleek and clean the Bose looks compared to the button covered competitor. Very good video. I'm glad you made it!
Bose has been about marketing hype since the '70's. The speakers they built their reputation on (501 & 901 Direct Reflecting) were garbage back then. They use low quality drivers in aesthetically pleasing cabinets or radios(the Wave). You're paying for their marketing and advertising.
