When I was in college as a project in advertising I designed a AM/FM cassette with cd player boombox (there were none at the time with CD players),and I wrote to Aiwa suggesting they make one, i agree with JT write some e-mails, It wouldn't hurt.
I said it should have a battery compartment and a handle... so it would be portable!monchito said:i would not concider something like that its not portable
it would be way cooler if they brought it out for about the same selling price as the kaboom.jaetee said:Maybe we should reach out to JVC with some well written emails and try to poke them into this direction???
If the Lasonic is the only kid on the block now, that's pretty sad.
I say JVC should do a retro styled new box called the M100!
It would need to have:
- [*:2700f4kk]Radio (digital okay)
[*:2700f4kk]VU meters (Analog preferred, but LED would be okay like can be found on the Sharp GF-9696)
[*:2700f4kk]Front load horizontal CD player where you can watch the CD spin How cool if you could record to CD???!!!!.
[*:2700f4kk]Cassette Deck with record capability (but that probably won't happen)
[*:2700f4kk]MP3 Player dock via standard Line-in (both RCA and 3.5mm plug) or via USB interface where you could plug in a zip drive or portable HD loaded with music.
[*:2700f4kk]5 band equalizer
[*:2700f4kk]3-way speakers with 8" woofers
[*:2700f4kk]Carrying Handle
[*:2700f4kk]Battery compartment
[*:2700f4kk]No cheezy stickers or colors. It should have some chrome and tasteful retro design elements. Silver or dark gray metallic (like M90).
[*:2700f4kk]15~20 watts per channel output
Priced in the $400~$500 range.
I would buy one.
They could build it for less!ahardb0dy said:if they did re-introduce the M-90, imagine how much it would cost compared to what the M-90 cost when it first came out
And what a cheezy, half-assed attempt at that....Boom Shaka Laka said:If people are so hungry for Kabooms, imagine how they'd devour a retro boomer made by one of the majors! It's hard for me to believe that, so far, only Lasonic has made the attempt!
redbenjoe said:last night --this kaboom sold for $600 !!!
there have been about a dozen up there -- well over $500 --
so --it may not be just a temporary price fluke -
this should wake-up JVC --
every outfit loves to bring out brand new goods
with this bottom-line $$$ potential
i predict its a GO :sin:
