Best Clock Radios

High-end audio manufacturers -- well aware that the aging audiophile population is getting smaller every year -- are branching out to more conventional consumer electronics like clock radios. These radios not only look better than the typical bedside clock radio, but they sound like expensive hifi systems.

Tivoli Audio and Boston Acoustics each have its own take on the classic bedside clock radio, and the results are stunning. Tivoli's $200 Model Three, essentially the company's wildly popular Model One table radio with a retro-looking analog alarm clock added to the front panel, sounds impossibly big and musical, while Boston's $150 Recepter Radio marries a digital LED clock display to a bass-enhanced radio that must be heard to be believed.
