As nice as they are...to me it's only HALF a boombox

...i don't know why i can't get into them...actually...i do know why...Conions and Lasonics are my thing
Don't forget the Diabolo is the ONLY boombox that has a true 10 inch speaker
In my opinion it is the big momma of everything that followed given that its whole prupose was to make noise outside on the streets! The whole simple and yet efficient design makes it stand out in my opinion.
And, let's be honest on this one, stereo does not matter one bit if you are outside blasting...there is virtually no difference

I love the 550 (in silver or black) for its unique design and for its place in boombox history. I believe without it, we would have never seen some models (like Conions or Lasonics

) on the market
