Got myself a little TDK treat

I'm loving this beast more by the minute. Heavy though, and with 12 x D cells......much too heavy for carrying around.
Couple of things that would make it even better (in my opinion):
1. Power converter should be built-in. Power cord connects to a 24v converter then that connects to the back of the box. (I realize this would make the box a couple pounds heavier).
2. Remote
3. Ipod cradle or dock. (it does include a slip-proof holder on top though).
4. Ipod controls through the box (and remote). Currently you control your ipod through the ipod.
5. Dual telescoping FM antennas. (FM antenna is just a wire that you plug into the back currently).
That's about it.
But the sound.......love it. Nice and clear at the highest volumes. And it is loud.

I agree with you about the ipod docking setup for the TDK - it really doesn't "dock" nor is it linked besides by the regular audio hookup as it does not display the song on the TDK screen 
. Dumb design for the ipod. Read below:
All this design into the TDK boomboxes and they couldn't just put the freaking transformer into the case and use a regular boombox cord. That has to be one of the most irritating things having that brick hanging off the power cord
:annoyed: .
It's plain and simple that they took TOO MUCH punch and sound out of the 2 outer speakers on the 3 speaker TDK
.
The 3 speaker is overall good-to-great at all volumes. Nice tight bass through low and mid volumes. At high volume the outer speakers are nice and clear but don't really put out any bass and the center speaker doesn't really put out any more bass after the knob is turned up past mid way either. It stays more clear than the 2 speaker TDK, but you have to turn the bass down to get that center woofer from wobbling around so much and making unwanted noise. Even with the woofer, the 3 speaker TDK is what I would call a "rock box", because you can crank it hella loud and really feel the punch and rich sound of rock music.
The 2 speaker is OK-to-good at low volume. At mid volume it is noticably BETTER than the 3 speaker because of the bass output of those two speakers (which are pretty much laying dead on the 3 speaker boombox
) . Once you crank the 2 speaker TDK past half way then you start to lose the clarity in the music because the reverberation of the speakers interferes with the tweeter clarity output. More of a "boomer" boombox at half volume, but again cranks out rock music like a raped ape!

The Altec Lansing has the power adaptor outside of box too...I like it because of less weight and shipping, wish Lasonic and some of the other big black boxes did this. Maybe there would be less shipping damage!!!!
