ok i would say mine is toshiba......i have most of the high end ones and think they are very well made,stylish and sound quality......

although i do like my nationals as well

pics if you can please

I like quiet a few tbh Lee, but firstly it would be Philips due to the sound quality and a few other factors, followed by Panasonic and pioneer so all the peeeeeeees for me mate gotta say I do like the obscure Korean and Taiwanese brands though

National / Panasonic was the real deal. Those models are on the edge to HiFi imo.

I know they're not the best boxes out there but I still love Sharp GF's, don't know why, I just do lol

litfan - 2013-07-28 04:28

I can`t answer this, because, each maker, has a box that i like. Although, i am a toshiba fan.

I would go with Sharp, not the best in build quality, but they had the most variety of designs and usefull features.

For me, it's got to be Toshiba. I love the fact that Pioneer had their own way of doing things and almost every machine they made was quirky and tore the rule book up but Toshiba made more advances; they pushed the boundaries, and as an engineer this appeals to me most. Sure they made some low end rubbish but the most sought after machines today are the most revered ones from the 80's. Who would not kill for a Bombeat 40? Who can believe the wireless remote control? I love Aiwa and Sanyo too, but only Toshiba's get me going. No contest.

i would say toshiba too but im a big sanyo and pioneer fan, i havent got any high end tosh units though but seeing Docs`s toshibas at the meet was enough for me to see they are a cut above.

mitchelljames - 2013-07-28 07:21

The company with the most boxes which i like must be Aiwa.

 

990,950,880,770,660,600,500 + some cracking 3 piecers like the CA100.

 

They even made some stunning looking walkmans

this might come as a shock but the jvc m90 and m70 has been my boombox of choice yet im thankful for my prosonic and telefunken aslo my magnasonic trubo so... yah its a tuff choice no-dout ! 

aestereo - 2013-07-28 07:50

I will vote for National Panasonic.

 

The longest life for any cassette deck. Easiest cassette decks to maintain, when the time comes to change the belt.

And they have made some top boxes of all times.

radio.raheem - 2013-07-28 09:02

To many to chose from...but my vote would go with jvc since the dp200 knocks any other box out the ring and you have the jvc pc55 and m90...plus i grew up with mainly jvc

yes it is fugly but you can't have everything lad...and i do have a big nose haha.....if i want something beautiful i'll choose a lady of the night not a boombox haha

litfan - 2013-07-28 09:41

I think, it looks good, the dp200. Big nose eh? My dog`s got no nose. How does it smell? Terrible.

radio.raheem - 2013-07-28 09:50

This place would be shit without you bro.....i miss havin pets around lad specially old jasper........WHO LET THE DOGS OUT

driptip - 2013-07-28 10:12

most brands have nice looking boxes, but panasonic has this monster.

litfan - 2013-07-28 11:21

Sorry hugo, but, in my eyes, not a boombox. It`s something a mobile dj would use.

stereo.mad - 2013-07-28 12:05

Awsome machine hugo but I have to agree with lit

brutus442 - 2013-07-28 13:10

I know it's a yawner but I'm with Reno on the JVC front. Purely because the 550 was my first purchase and it had every feature imaginable. Pure nostalgia.

 

It should be noted that Pioneer is a VERY close second IMHO
