I need a boombox

[PamNY]

Do people still say boombox? Anyway, I'm considering the Altec Lansing IMT800 because it has good reviews and two external audio inputs that are easily accessible (I would use these for satellite radio and perhaps a CD player).

I want it for use in my bedroom (which is also my office) and I wouldn't be carrying it around, so portability isn't an issue.

If anybody has an opinion on this or a similar items, I'd love to hear it.

Not sure your budget, but take a look at the iHome products. We reviewed it, along with 5 others, and liked the iHome best. (Author's my BF, and we did the reviews at my house.)

Oh man! Now that's a boom box!
You'll need a big, foldable piece of cardboard to go with that

Thanks, Pedal Wench, that sounds like a good possibility. Not that appearance is the most important thing, but I do love the look.

Well gee, I was going to suggest a nice Bose Wave CD/Radio. You can play your Ipod through it with a cable. Has a remote control. Nice looking. Yeah, it's spendy, but the size and sound can't be beat. Has inputs - I play my old cassette player through it as well as the Ipod. It looks nice, and since you don't need "portability" might fit the bill. I bought a refurbished one a few years ago, at a Memorial Day sale, so got $100 off. It has served me very well.

Actually, the Bose systems are good too. They've put a ton of research into the Wave's, and it shows. They have a good clean sound, good stereo separation, accurate high-end and solid bass. Didn't think of it as all that portable, but like you said, if that's not an issue, another good choice. I wrote a review of one a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it.
