INCREDIBLE SOUND FOR THE PRICE - A REAL WINNER!
To begin with, I've never been into "boom-boxes". Now, however, I do lectures on classical music and opera, and I needed something "portable" to take with me on my lectures, but something that had good sound, since I play music with a full symphony orchestra, as well as a lot of opera. When I took this little machine home, I was a little skeptical. When I put on a cassette tape of Verdi's "Aida" no less, I was completely shocked
at the sheer vividness and sharpness of the sound. Even on full volume, there was no distortion. This machine is amazing, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is on a budget and who wants to have a portable machine with great sound.
Boombox with a boom
It seems harder and harder to find a good boombox lately- the manufacturers are all on the portable mp3 player/ ipod bandwagon. That being said it took a long time to find a quality boombox like this one. It looks nice, when it's on, the ring around the center speaker glows a nice blue. It has 5 speakers in all, 2 main, 2 tweeter, and the center bass speaker. There are two extra modes, mega-bass, and mega-xpand, both of which do a great job of making it sound good. I especially liked the mega-xpand, which kind of gives it a virtual surround effect. The FM tuner is digital, and the unit comes with a remote. It plays your own burned CD's, so that's nice. All in all, a nice boombox that sounds good, at a reasonable price.
Elegant lines, rich sound
If you're looking at SONY boom boxes, you may be considering both their black CFD-G500 and their silver CFD-F10. I bought both and would like to share my impressions thus far.
Appearance: I really love the sleek even elegant lines of the silver F10.
Portability: The silver F10 is lighter and more stream-lined, so if you want a unit that you can move around, this is an advantage over the heavier and bulkier G500.
Sound: I listen almost exclusively to classical music. Both models do a great job of providing a full rich sound. The MEGA BASS and MEGA Xpand of the silver F10 give it a sound quality comparable, at least to my ears, to the larger and somewhat more expensive black G500 (which has a power drive woofer).
But the black G500 has two advantages I really appreciate over the silver F10:
1. It has a feature that allows me to select 5 different audio emphases: one is good for the whole dynamic range (great for classical), one is best for vocals, one for percussive sounds etc.
2. When I'm playing a symphony at fairly high volume, and the orchestra reaches a real crescendo, the black G500 conveys the full blast of music with great clarity. The silver F10 does a good job of handling a high volume but not full blasts without losing some sound definition.
Bottom line: I'm delighted with both. I bought the silver F10 for use in my den, where I want to hear full rich sounds played at low to medium high volumes. I bought the black G500 for use in a corner of my living room, where I need higher volumes to reach into my kitchen and dining room as well.
