Best CD Boombox

[Zippy]

I was just boombox-browsing and started to wonder: What's the best boombox with a built-in CD player?
I guess the Panny RX-DT 707 is a candidate as long as your eyes are closed. What else did the industry come up with? Is there a solid CD boomer in classic style? Does carrying a CD boomer on your shoulder even make sense? Will CDs be "oldschool" for future generations, or just "outdated"? Also, who closes the doors when the bus driver gets out?
Go!

Also, who closes the doors when the bus driver gets out?
Go!

That, my friend, is a mystery that mankind will never solve.
Who brings mail to the mailman's house?
How cuts the hair of the haircutter?
Who cooks food for the cook?

As far as CD-Boomers go, there is one, only one, Lasonic i931 with a CD player. THAT is awesome and I want it .
Cds will never be old school, they just break after about 10 years because the silver stuff comes off. Harddrives break too. Cassette and vinyl last very long. Actually vinyl will still exist in a long time.

I like my Panasonic DT 680...great sound and deep bass...

I vote for the RX-DT680 also.

cd is what kabooms were made for so there hard to beat
and the bus driver is not allowed to lean through the window any more to close the door so how does he do it

There are a few nice looking CD boxes of the early time
Some cute PHILIPS

the "james bond" blaster

the "long vehicle"

this one may be the best
CD and full logic tape

wooden speakers.
But the weight may break your shoulder

this JVC / VICTOR is also nice
