hi all hope your all good
not sure if we've had this thread before but anyway here goes....
as much as i love my philips d8614 i have come to the conclusion that it would look much better with twin ariels.
i think boxes look much better with twin ariels and if i would of been chief designer at the time i would of made them compulsery
another box which i think should have 2 is the hitachi trk 8600, i think the 1 ariel lets it down a little.
iv'e noticed that the extra ariel does nothing more for reception and the extra ariel is probs just for design only, still it does wonders for the eyes.
anyone got a box in mind that would look much better with 2 ariels instead of one??

aiwa cs600 would look better with twin ariels,
underated box in my opinion..nice bass for a cheapish box

twin antenna look far better than one 
8600 , 525 , sankei tcr-s90 , d8444 would of suited 2.

^even on small boxes,sfg is right it should have been compulsary

Agree with this, just think how many minis look great with twin ariels.
Just looking at my own stuff, gf-575, gf-8989 and Sanyo m9990 would all benefit from the second stick.
Also ive got an ipod Lasonic i931 and thats only got 1 ariel, would also be better with two.

I LOOOVE twins...!!! 
So twins it is!

I agree
almost every boombox looks so much better with twin antenna's
macflyer - 2012-03-22 16:24
I agree. One aerial actually just breaks the symmetric law of boombox design
retro - 2012-03-22 16:34
Twin aerials for sure, especially on the smaller models. The PC-55 has them mounted asymmetrically which I'm not to crazy about.

twin antanna 100 percent.....not twin no big issue tho..twin antanna just looks true classic....twin cat even better
scottym - 2012-03-22 20:08
Even side mounted twins?
nevone - 2012-03-23 00:15
Twin Aerials would be the first choice by far.
I also like the single aerial that comes out from the box's body, like in sony cfs88 or grundig party center 2000 (actually, a lot of grundig had those sunken antennas)
electron1100 - 2012-03-23 02:34
I agree with everyone about twin aerials looking better, so i put the back of a scrap sharp GF-555 on to my GF-525 so this now has twin aerials, i also peeled off the information sticker and swapped them
