[Electronics-talk] Accessible stereo systems?

[Shannon Cook]

I have a Bose and really enjoy it.  The buttons are raised and do not change function.  They are on the remote itself.  It has auxiliary connections for MP3 and Stream hookup.  It does not have the detachable speakers or a cassette deck, but is a good size.  You can take it from room to room if you want.  Just my two cents on the subject.

Hi All,

     I've been hunting rather fruitlessly for a decent-sized but not large
and elaborate stereo system with quality sound, including subwoofer, that
isn't so digital that a totally blind person can't use it.  A lot of these
systems do have actual buttons, but they change function depending on how
many times one presses them, which is absolutely no help to me.  I'm looking
for a system with detached speakers, (i.e. not a boom box,) a CD player,
radio, a way to play auxiliary devices through it such as an MP3 player or
Victor Reader Stream, and, if possible, a recording cassette deck, though
that I'm willing to do without.  I want something with a good strong clear
sound and quality bass response, not muddy or tinny.

     I have an old Aiwa boom box, but I'm looking for a real stereo system
with speakers I can position separately, including the subwoofer, and that I
can hear properly in something bigger than a dorm room!  Anyone have any
suggestions that won't cost me thousands of dollars and will have
individual, tactile buttons for each feature?

     Thanks for any advice and/or experiences you can share.

Sincerely,
Becky C.
