Those Aiwa boxes are very sophisticated and high-tech looking. Do they perform as well as they look ?
When I need power I use an M90, otherwise I use the TPR-950 more than any other box in my collection. It is a smallish midsize box with a very warm stereo sound at casual to medium listening volumes. As a bonus, it is very efficient on 6 D-cell batteries,
Plus, the TPR-950 has some of the "essential" design elements that I think appeal to the largest number of boombox enthusiasts. .... Symetric center-tape layout, bottom orientation tape transport (tape travels L to R), dual analog VU meters, dial light, dual-antennas, line-out, line-in, phono, AM/FM/SW...
Mine works fantastic. Keeper box for sure.
