I got my Exos-9 two weeks ago, and I couldn't be more thrilled with it! While the reason I got it is for summer cycling fun, it's actually become my home stereo speaker (though I have a very small place and have to turn the bass way down here), sitting raised on lucite behind and (mostly) above my 21" monitor. The size of the AIWA is perfect for this, and it's wide enough at 19" that you do get a reasonable amount of stereo separation from only a few feet away. (And, as Superduper said, it's very elegant and attractive-looking.)
Weather has been rainy, so I've only taken the beast out once on the bike, but that one time I did so the clean, powerful sound—which I don't dare raise above conversation-level at home—just blew me away! I have it securely strapped on to a basket sitting on my back rack when I head out... it's actually LOCKED to the rack with one of those combination-locking luggage straps, since it
would be kinda easy in the city for someone to just reach over and
grab it (and there's no question some dudes will
want to do just that when they hear the monster bass emanating from the thing) when I'm stopped at a light or something.
Jimmy, if you're wondering if it lives up to all the 5-star reviews and is worth getting sound unheard: IT IS!!
