Another reason to like the BS3

I too just read this post and was intrigued to find out why you would put a BeoSystem 3 outside! I'm considering a BeoSound 3 as a replacement for an aged Sony clock radio - does anyone use it principally as an alarm clock/radio and what are your experiences?

 Max.

I use mine as an alarmclock and to listen to music before falling asleep with A8s plugged in. The sound is superb considering the size of the unit, the handling is easy as soon as you get used to it.

But there are some functions that should be improved:

  • you have to reset the alarm every day, it does not switch on automatically at the same time every day
  • the sleeper function (automatic switch off after a certain time) is only available with radio, not with a-mem

Okay, too bad no sleeptimer with A.Mem, but radio does his job as well i think.
