Alarm Clock Research and Review

For many audiophiles, the name that sounds the best is Bose, founded in 1964 by Dr. Amar Bose, a professor of electrical engineering at MIT. The company's outstanding audio solutions can be found in the Sistine Chapel, NASA space shuttles and the Japanese National Theater. Their Wave Music System Alarm Clock Radio, which retails for $500, is music to our ears for a host of reasons.
