I like this little guy a lot and don't have much to add to other reviewers' comments. The Model 88CD will always remain a classic. This must be why Cambridge Soundworks after trying to pull the Model 88Cd off the market, brought it back after all. The 730/740 can sound boomy because the sub is pointing downward.Ĭlearly, an audiophile would choose the Model 88CD over the 730/740 any day. The newer 730/740 is capable of playing a lot louder, as the sub is been redesign/improved, I would prefer a less powerful radio for something that sounds more neutral. Must you ever have the choice between purchasing the newer Cambridge Soundworks 740 (same as the 730 but with a built-in CD player) or the Model 88CD I would highly recommend the Model 88CD. The Wave is way too over priced yet sounds extremely process/EQ. The Wave Radio sounds OK, look better but is by far not as good sounding as any other table top radios from Cambridge Soundworks.
Then began the love affair with these radios Once I ordered my first Model 88CD I instantly sold both Model 88 and the Bose wave Radio CD. Not that the Model 88 is still available directly from the Cambridge Soundworks, thought I used to also own both a Boee Wave radio CD along with the Model 88. For the record, I presently have in my home 3 Model 88CD and two of the newly redesign 730 radios, again from Cambridge Soundworks.
