NICE VINTAGE HENRY KLOSS AUX AM/FM RADIO MODEL 88 WITH SUBWOOFER AND REMOTE !
If you don\'t know who Audio Hall of Fame\'s Henry Kloss is, you simply haven\'t been around audio long enough. No, he isn\'t 88 years old yet, but he\'s clearly one of the grand daddies of audio and video innovation in the US with a remarkable career than spans many decades.
The Model 88\'s driver complement includes two full-range 2.5-inch speakers and a 4-inch, separately powered, woofer which occupies about two thirds of the unit\'s volume and handles the frequency range below 200 Hz. The discrete AM/FM tuner is quite remarkable at this price point, and compares favorably with that in receivers costing many hundreds of dollars. In addition to the selectable Mono and Stereo FM modes, a \"Wide\" mode is also provided that allocates out-of-phase information to opposite channels. With the right program material, the effect is to broaden the perceived soundstage.
THIS UNIT IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND INCLUDES A WORKING REMOTE CONTROL. THE SOUND THIS LITTLE GEM PRODUCES IS JUST OUTSTANDING.THE AM/FM RADIO WORKS GREAT HOWEVER THIS UNITDOES NOT PLAY STATIONS AT THE VERY TOP OF THE DIAL (FROM ABOUT 104.1 TO 107.9 ) IN THIS RANGE SHE HUMS AND DISTORTS. DUE TO THIS ISSUE I\'M FORCED TO SELL THIS ONE AS-IS, SO PLEASE offer WITHTHIS IN MIND. EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS UNIT WORKSGREAT ! MEASURES APPROX. 14\'\' WIDE 4 5/8\'\' TALL AND 8 1/8\'\' DEEP. IF YOU LIKE THE BOSE WAVE RADIO\'S WILL LOVE THEKLOSS88 !

What I typically despise about modern clock radios is their tiny sound; a tonal balance so fatally flawed that even a short exposure is sufficient to overload my nervous system. If you\'ve experienced even one clock radio in your life, you know what I mean: sound quality only a mouse could enjoy. Therefore, what I noticed instantly about the Model 88 was its surprisingly natural tonal balance. At low volume levels, there\'s a strong impression of listening to live music from a distance. The power range of an orchestra is given full weight with believable mid and upper bass richness. And most surprising of all is the punch and tightness of bass lines. Providing that the volume level isn\'t cranked too high, the midrange retains sufficient clarity and headroom even on large-scale orchestral music. The treble range maintains a natural character, without the brightness and harmonic irritation endemic to this product genre. Most importantly, soprano voice retains sufficient purity and expressive nuance to please even hard-core audiophiles.
When it comes to personal FM radio listening enjoyment, I don\'t know of a more musically effective combination than the Model 88 table radio with the Silver Ribbon antenna. Add a CD player through the rear RCA jacks, and you have the makings of a competent personal music system. Considering the performance and price of the Model 88, Henry Kloss\' latest ode to the table radio clearly qualifies as a major miracle.
