Product Description

Product Description

The Horizon Trio from Boston Acoustics is a high-performance tabletop radio designed to combine the best features of an alarm clock with an advanced audio system. This unit incorporates a programmable LCD digital alarm clock with an AM/FM tuner and CD player. By using an available port on this unit, it is also possible to connect your iPod directly to the Trio and play your digital music files. The Trio includes built-in speakers with a patented BassTrac electronic variable bass boost. It also features full-range drivers and dual independently tuned acoustic chambers, all of which contribute to a very expansive sound from a relatively small unit. Other features include over-molded rubber controls, a snooze bar, a soft-touch back box, and metal grilles.

2.0 out of 5 stars A glitch spoiled this for me, April 16, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I already own one Boston Acoustics Clock Radio and decided to purchase another which plays CDs.

Unfortunately, there is a manufacturing glitch by which the audio mutes briefly at the end of each track when playing a CD straight through. This might not be noticeable on CDs where there is some silence between tracks. But on many classical CDs where there is continuity of music between tracks, this results in missing about a second of music at each track change.

This was confirmed by BA (because it always "searches" for the next track) and I found it unacceptable. So I had to return it.

However, if you are not into classical CDs, then this is otherwise an excellent CD/AM/FM clock radio. The sound quality is superb as one would expect from such an expensive item. I did find the snooze bar for the alarm a bit too sensitive, which on two occasions caused it to snooze for 15 minutes instead of 10.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, but when playing cds..., August 27, 2009
By Michael Wells (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Boston Acoustics Horizon Trio Clock Radio w/ CD Player (Midnight) (Electronics)
I really wanted to keep this radio - it looks and sounds great! The issue I had was with cd playback. As one reviewer stated, there is a one-second silent gap between songs as the player searches for the next track. This is not noticeable most of the time, HOWEVER it disrupts playback on cds where one track follows another without a gap. For example, the one-two punch of ZZ Top's "Waitin' for the Bus"/"Jesus Just Left Chicago" is interrupted as the first second of the latter song is omitted. Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker"/"Living Loving Maid [She's Just A Woman]" would be another example. There are enough instances of this in my cd collection to make this unit sadly unusable. The sound is fantastic, but for the money, I really needed it to play cds as the artist intended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, March 2, 2009
By Henrietta Bluestein (Charleston, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boston Acoustics Horizon Trio Clock Radio w/ CD Player (Midnight) (Electronics)
Everything about this stereo is amazing. It produces an unbeatable sound not to mention a compact size. I have been looking for years to find a compact radio that didn't sound like a tin box. This one does the job.

The quality of the product is excellent. It is moderately complex to set up because of all the features. You actually have to read the manual to get it right.
