 Love it w/one nuance July 22, 2008
This is the clock radio I have been searching for. Love the style, sound and function with one complaint. When waking to music via the alarm, the alarm itself will cancel as soon as you adjust the volume or change station and go to straight radio mode. Thus, I came home one afternoon with the radio still on! Boston, make the adjustment so I can stay in alarm mode and adjust the volume or station without canceling the alarm. I'd buy another then.
 Great sound, but...... July 8, 2008
I also had several problems with my BA Horizon. Mine also emitted a buzzing sound when the radio was on via the "sleep" mode; but also, as I go to bed after 11 PM most nights, the sleep function won't allow the radio on time to run past midnight. (I.e., it's 11:20 PM, and the device defaults out of sleep setting mode unless a time of 40 minutes or less is chosen.) Seemingly insignificant, but for the price... Also annoying is the previously noted loss of time when the radio is just being listened to in normal mode. I'm either returning it (to Target), or I may contact BA and see if a replacement model has had these bugs worked out.
 Great radio! July 2, 2008
I love this radio. In the vertical position, it fits perfectly in the corner behind my bathroom sink so I can listen to the radio while getting ready for work. I have the white antenna wire running up along the side of the mirror so the antenna is concealed quite nicely. It works great for most stations without the antenna, but for distant stations, the antenna really helps. This radio has incredible bass... I have it set at -5 (the lowest possible bass setting), and it is plenty for me. For you bass lovers, I dare you to crank it to +5 and turn up the volume. This is a great radio, and the digital clock is a bonus. I really love the digital tuner. I have a USB FM transmitter (Rocket FM) attached to my computer, so I can stream music from my computer to any FM radio in the house... SWEET!
 AM Gets Continuous Static June 27, 2008
We returned the Boston Acoustic Horizon radio because the AM dial provides continuous static and is unlistenable. What's more, the directions are extremely arcane. The radio may have been designed and engineered in the US (as the packaging claims) but the directions for how to use it must have been lost in Chinese translation.
surprising sound June 18, 2008
I am really enjoying this "clock radio." It's really much more. The aux. input allows external devices, (for me, an HD off-air TV receiver, and this instead of going through my stereo rack). The sound is good (and can be set quite loud), although, it will distort if set near the highest volume. The tuner pulls in really weak stations, it does an excellent job. The controls seem challenging for the first few minutes, and, then, they seem totally intuitive..really a neat job overall.
