Hey guys,

I haven't been around this site for a LONG time, but I saw this upcoming gem that's sure to be on your wish list and I thought I'd share it with you.

TDK's return to portable electronics and something that's sure to turn a head or two at your next house party:

yeah, we saw that, to me it seems like a boombox with out a face, and for that price a rather get me an 80's boombox.

Extremely high quality, but needs speaker grills desparately.

Oh with all the DIY'ers around here I'm sure someone will have a solution. My bad if I missed the original post with this thing featured!

I had the pleasure of listening to the TDK 3 speaker boombox this weekend...........this thing sounds great!  The touch controls are also nice. 

Since a boombox of this quality/price would rarely be taken anywhere, I think it's awesome.  I'll be getting one (for myself) this Christmas.  This sounds better than ANY 80's boombox I've ever heard. 

Don't knock it until you've sampled it.  I love the old boxes, but this thing rocks!

crap these days does'nt interest me either, you can't beat the proper 80's boomer, and sound is not evarything, its the look and feel of the ghettoblaster that does it for me

Hi Blackmoses.This new TDK release to me is a 3 speaker portable docking station for those ipod's not really much there to look at ,if they really wanted to bring back the time warp to the original GhettoBlaster Which is the BoomBox,Price in today's standard would deff be a major factor.Decent Ghetto's back then were pretty expensive,thus the collector's of today,i guess my point here is if they wanted to really get back to the old day's with a modern feel it's already been done!!!!!Buy a real classic BoomBox

gem,plug in your ipod and your good to go. Thanks for this post,interesting BlackMoses......PIONEER

i would agree with you. thw newer tech is better in some items yeah, but why do they make them but ugly? i love the look of thoes huge space taking blasters. ive never had the privlage of owning one yet, but maybe someday i will.
