As VintageStereo, the first owner to bring attention to this model, says, it's "distinctive." Still, I do believe it qualifies as the best clock radio -- separate adjustable times for each day of the week, excellent tuner, and 125 wpc. I'd like to see a Tivoli with 700 watts of power consumption.

Thinking in color...
I'll second Urizen's vote for the Boston Recepter (even with that badly misspelled name). Meantime, I plug along with my trusty 1993-vintage Optimus stereo clock radio with detachable speaker.
Sony MagiCube, baby. :yes:

You guys must have big nighttables.
If I had it, I'd say a CSW Model 88 with a CD player but since I only have the 88 without the CD player (and that's by choice) I had to go with a reliable 4x4x2 1/2" Sony Dream Machine (with battery backup) on top of it with the Uniden wireless phone alongside of it.
So, technically it's a clock/radio but I only use the clock function.
Between these and a lamp, I'm outta space, but I've been known to plug my walkman into the 88 on occasion. I can squeeze that in.

Awesome sounding little unit. Beats the hell out of the Bose Wave Radio my wife HAD to have. :sigh:

I love the Proton 320 great reception and very nice sound. Nakamichi and Sharper image re-label the proton so it cant be that bad right? But this one makes me believe there is a god http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=59968

Older I get, better I was
I haven't heard all of the ones listed, so i won't vote. The Wave radio is nice for this purpose - decent sound at low volume. The alarm comes on softly and eventually kicks your ass if you don't get up.
Drawback is no headphone jack. I listen to Phil Hendrie at night in bed. The Mrs. hates his dumb show and doesn't want to hear him, whereas I laugh my ass off sometimes.
Actually, I also have a GE stereo clock radio that's pretty good. Decent sound, 2 alarms and great AM reception. It can DX pretty well at night.

I second that! I have had mine for probably 20 years now and it almost makes me like being waken up in the morning! I especially like the way the volume gently ramps up, that was a nice touch. Separate bass and treble controls like a real piece of audio equipment. A friend house sat for us and liked it so much he bought one.
