so guys, the 64 million dollar question- whats the best boombox in your collection and why?
heres mine...............the sharp gf8585.
why? well ill tell you.
its big,well designed and solidly built.
it sounds absolutely fantastic. the bass is rich and deep and the sound is crisp.
and i just love its looks.

Well for sound I'd say probably the Sharp Gf-9696.
(The JVC-M70 also when it feels like working). Mad

Both these have nice rich bass, crisp but not gritty highs and full smooth midrange that doesn't sound squawky or over bright. And a fair dose of volume, espcially in the case of the M70 which is happier than the 9696 at high levels.


*For looks and sentimentality my mint Crown Sz-5100.

Panasonic RX-CT800:


Part of the Panasonic platinum series from the 1990's-has 5 band graphic EQ and a tweeter and woofer in each speaker make for excellent sound quality and a very solid build too.

I'm very lucky to have this in my collection.
