Think they're shipping out in November.So did anyone dare to order the cat in the sack?
We Are Rewind Boombox!

I once had a so-called 120W RMS compact system that technically ticked every box, but the cabinet design was so poor the bass just turned into plastic buzz so it convinced me that enclosure quality does more for the sound than any wattage figure ever printed on a spec sheetHopefully someone who currently owns an Aiwa / Medion / Leotec gets one to compare their sound. If I knew someone who owned one close to me, I would be strutting up to them with my Aiwa like Radio Raheem...If it outperforms it, I would be impressed enough to bow down in defeat
but it would have a lot to prove for the price. It already lacks in features. Cassette mech is likely identical to the Chinese boombox but the China-box was only $249 with built-in in AM or DAB/FM radio, cassette, CD, Bluetooth, USB/microSD and, while smaller, has back-lit VU meters too. The highs on my Aiwa are every bit as crisp as my M90, it thumps quite well and goes very loud. I have not dared to punish my M90 and risk tearing an aged speaker in competition, but I am willing to bet my Aiwa would beat it even back in its heyday. Of course technology has improved in amps since then. Even in budget models.
I would have to hear one of these to see where the extra cost is. The specs I have seen seem to indicate it has 100 watts RMS however, I have learned to be skeptical of going by watts alone in retrospect to overall sound quality. I have heard lower wattage units outperform higher wattage models. They seem to indicate that the cassette has an active erase head. Now that is a huge plus. If it has a nice set of speakers and amp with a tuned enclosure to go with that RMS wattage output, it should bounce itself off a shelf.
It reminds me how much specs only tell part of the story, the same way a good live streaming app development company has to go beyond raw features and actually optimize for the real-world experience.

Let me guess, the label on the back said it consumes only 30-40 watts. Yet somehow it produces 120, lol
