Aiko RTR-9900 Is it Ugly ?

boomboxace - 2012-05-21 20:16

Hi ,

I been thinking about a showing of the worlds'most ugly boxes , then i realized that what is ugly to some is not ugly to others , any way i recently found this Aiko RTR-9900 is it ugly?, i'll let You decide, has great graphic leds, i have a weakness for lightup boxes , and most of them seem to be from the decline era of boxes when they went the elcheapo way to plastic and lights to sell them.

When this box was first sold they boasted 300 watts power output i seriously doubt it , although it is loud, have gander and tell me what you think

 SHOULD WE HAVE AN UGLY BOX SHOWING !

swell idea about the ' ugly box' thread-

 

but that one is not gonna make it

imvo --you have one of the better looking of the

big world of ' black boxes'

I actually like this design, it looks balanced and well thought out for a cheapish black box.

Thanks guys , yu'll maybe right , it does'nt look half bad , well balanced your right .

I'm gonna checkout my collection for a totally ugly box

Cheers bba

300 watts, lol

How can anything named a 'Aiko RTR-9900' not be ugly?  Though slightly tough on the eye, there are uglier boxes.

...& at least the 10 band EQ is genuine  

The piezo tweeters are a riot...

Hey Boomboxace, you should start a Ugly Boombox thread, they're usually a hoot.

i think it's a decent looking box, iv'e seen far worse, and like you BBA i'm lovin the led's

samsnite - 2012-05-24 08:53

It is not even near ugly, like them chrome speaker "rims"

boomboxace - 2012-05-24 16:19

Squaresville, Dad, but at the same time weird enough looking to make it interesting.

its the sort of box my freinds would gravitate towards even if it was next to my m70 or my mx920

boomboxace - 2012-05-26 19:22

  1. Hey bison , i have friends like that also flashing lights and led's do it everytime!

looks quite ok imho....stickimg my neck out....but it could possibly sound better than the m70 imho...although i doubt it has the clean power of the m70...just my pennies worth

nak.d - 2012-06-02 16:08

I like it! I've seen far worse at boot sales

Most likely it sounds rubbish, and vibrates the chassis at only 3 on the volume dial. 

Overall it's not bad looking, but the "iron cross" tweeter grills ruin it.

,

It actually sounds very good even at high volulem , the grills do look a bit like  iron crosses , never noticed it before
