We bought this largely on the strength of the many positive reviews here on Amazon. I apparently missed the few that mentioned the problem we discovered after it arrived. If, like us, you are among the many folks getting an iPod Touch with a new laptop as part of Apple's annual summer promotion, please be aware that this unit from Boston Acoustics is NOT COMPATIBLE with the iPod Touch 2nd Gen. The iPod Touch 2nd Generation is the current model at the time I'm writing this. from Amazon.com Worse than that, in the time between the X2's announcement and its eventual shipping in small numbers a short time ago, (1) XtremeMac was bought by Imation, (2) XtremeMac's founder and president abruptly resigned and left the company, and (3) there were discouraging reports from a few too many of the few people who've actually gotten their hands on an X2. Going by my own version of the 60/40 rule, I had to scratch this off my list as well...assuming I could even fine one. This brings me to the Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo-i. When I first saw a picture of it, I almost immediately dismissed it out-of-hand...it just looked huge and bulky next to something svelte like the Luna. from Amazon.com As suggested, placed it in a corner. The sound is excellent, no boom, just right,as is the AM-FM reception; the remote is nice but not needed (so far). from Amazon.com The standout feature is the interface--after struggling with a clock radio from another manufacturer, this system was a pleasure to use. Every time I tried to do something, I was able to guess exactly which button to press and when. It does almost everything you could want--AM/FM, IPod, multiple alarms--and everything is easy to figure out how to operate. The remote works differently, but is almost as easy to use as the console. from Amazon.com For me, listening to the Radio has taken on a whole new meaning. With the Boston Acoustic, I no longer find myself struggling to find something to watch on TV, I either just listen to the Radio or listen to the IPod - by the way, classical music takes on an awsome experience. This radio seem solidly built. from Amazon.com The sound is simply fantastic. The bass is full and powerful with resulting music very enjoyable. The sensitivity of the AM/FM features included with the unit draw in the stations without any problem. I live in a rural area and the receiver quality is exceptional. from Amazon.com For the price, I feel the the fine folks at Boston Acoustics have done a terrific job putting together this little clock alarm. I've wanted to wake up to the sound of beautiful music for quite some time, but was unwilling to spend $350 - $400 on a BOSE to do so. from Amazon.com When I got an iPod Touch I decided to get a sound dock with a radio, to replace the Bose CD/radio system I had used previously. A PC that I once owned had Boston Acoustic speakers attached and the sound was fantastic, so I decided to get the Horizon Duo-i, hoping to get the same rich sound. The sound was almost as good as my computer speakers, and certainly was as good as I had been hoping for. from Amazon.com Unbelievable sound from a clock radio. Boston Acoustics got this one right. High volume, good bass response, clean sound, two alarms, iPOD dock and a price that won't break the bank. from Amazon.com I'm especially fond of having two aux's plus ipod mode. That means I can stream music to it with an airport express, use it with an ipod, as a radio, or to boost the bedroom tv audio, all without having to switch cables around. The only thing I would warn about is Boston's customer service. I've dealt with them a few times and it's a circus to say the least. from Amazon.com
