Boston Acoustics SOLO2B Solo II AM/FM Radio with Clock (Gloss Black) Review

Boston Acoustics SOLO2B Solo II AM/FM Radio with Clock (Gloss Black)

The sound quality is amazing for a 3.5 inch speaker, with very smooth bass that really fills a room. When the radio first comes on at your preset alarm time, it is whisper quiet, slowly building in volume level to whatever level it was when you last used it. It's a very pleasant way to wake up.
The alarm-setting process is easy to control, and you can be awakened with the radio, an alarm sound, or it can try waking you with the radio at first and then use the standard alarm if you don't wake within 5 minutes.
It has an automatic brightness control that dims the display when the room gets dark, with 20 levels of adjustment that you can control manually if you're sensitive to light in your room.
The radio tuner is quite good -- it digitally locks on to the signal, with very little if any static on weak signals. It's the strongest radio receiver I own, including the one in my car. If the built-in antenna doesn't suffice, you can even connect an external antenna to a port in the back.
The build quality of this radio is very high, giving a feeling that it's truly a luxury product, something to be proud of owning.
One of the coolest features -- and there are several -- is that it can hold its own radio and clock settings if the power goes out, without need for a battery. It uses a capacitor to maintain a charge, which it says is good for one or two days without being plugged in. I've only tested this feature moving the radio from one room to another, but it held all settings.
Overall, this is a great clock radio. I'm so glad to have it instead of using my cell phone to wake me, a poor substitute in comparison to such a fine product.

Chose this product because of the value (price vs features). Overall I got what I wanted /expected.
Features I was looking for:
-ability to play DivX movies
-HDMI connection
-Surround sound
Bonus features:
-USB Connection
Annoyances:
-vast sound difference between radio and other sources - need dvd player approx level 30, radio level 2. The default setting seems to be level 35, so switching between sources when you turn it on is a pain if you don't turn down the volume
-volume knob on the unit is erratic
-no random selection when playing music (off USB drive)
Installation was easy, works OK with my TV, plays DVD's and videos well, good radio reception.
