Most of us collects boxes of all labels.
But i´m sure everybody has a special favourite.

What´s your favourite brand?
(means not a special model)

I love the PHILIPS most of all!
Also called HORNYPHON .
In USA labeled MAGNAVOX.

Philips was a great inventor in boomboxes
The Spatial Stereo series are great sounding!
In Austria it was the great leader in radio and televisions.
When you go to the flea, most boxes are Philips.
I love them.

Panasonic or Hitachi.

Crown

Aiwa

Before HORNYPHON was a own label!
Looking so:


When Philips bought it the sign looked like this:


Sometimes electronics are sold till today under this label!

National/Panasonic

Its a toss up for me. I like Aiwa and Marantz.

toshiba , sanyo , aiwa and jvc

- JVC
- Panasonic
- Sharp
And I also like Philips - I have two Philips boomboxes, a mini hi-fi stereo and lots of good memories

JVC

Coby, a close second.

Sharp & Conion

None.

Litfans

1) JVC (M70 & M90 have won me over)
2) Sharp (used to be #1)
3) Panasonic (just flat out well-made)
4) Sanyo (M9990 sounds great, others must as well)

I'm still learning, though... so I reserve the right to change this list in the future!

RISING



Rock On.

Does this just mean you don't have a favorite or that you don't really like anything very much?

The second point.

Sanyo

Jvc and Sharp

Depends on what music Im listening too... Or if Im going to the park, or in the garage, or office.

Ok ok ok, I know... just pick one right?

I love Conion... But then I love the big Marantz... but then I love the cheap Lasonics too! I love the GF's but dont always love how they sound... I could go on... so I'll just say I love boxes!

The list of hates would probably be shorter!

i can honestly say that those flat panel speaker sonys are my favorite boombox i have ever owned. used to the the jvc based on the pc55 i had and the other boomboxes. those huge sony fh series boxes i got just really blew me aways.
i would also say that since owning a nice pioneer boombox i am very impressed with it as well.

Not ture sure what the best brand is, but the worst goes to sharp.

I love many brands as well ! It makes it very hard to choose just one manufacture, I do love Tecsonic but the Conion is better built and so are the Sharp's. Not sure who I would pick but I know I don't have enough experience with all the different companies to pin point who I think is the very best. Maybe in a few years LOL

Strong statement Tim, just curious why you feel Sharp is the worst? I'm not defending Sharp I'm just curious.

I couldn't pick just one brand since I find certain areas of most major brands that I favor.

They sound dreadful to my ears apart from 777 1000.

That's a fair claim Tim, we all have different tastes.

I would like to try a 555 someday Mb somthing keeps drawing me towards one.

Sharp.... C'mon!!!! No one can do better than Sharp!

True.... Been there, done that! BUT, yes the M90 is top Nr 1, el UNO in sound and performance!!!!!!!!!!!!

But SHARP has some of the BEST finishes, and the out come, (of sound) of the top models, is not bad, Right?!

Or....

"The beholder has the beauty of sound!"

Some of us Behold a lot of Bboxs, thus good sound... In and with all!

Yea man get yourself a 1000 or 777 if sharp hadn't made that line who knows, funny thing is i never liked sharps offerings in ghetto's or hifi entertainment eather back in the day.

Sharp of course, none better for looks.

SHARP was sure a big leader in boomboxes.
I like my GF555.
Optically it´s not so my favourite, but it sounds very well.

Rimmer.... I got 2 777....... But the M90 still sounds better....


But the 777 is nicer to the eye!
