I am very pleased with my BeoSound 1 – bought for £120 on eBay a couple of months ago. I used a small hammer to gently hammer out (from the inside) a couple of dents in the front grill and now it looks very presentable. I mostly use if for FM radio (still going strong in UK), but occasionally for CDs and there’s an AirPort Express connected to the Aux input.
EDIT: The older ones (like mine, SW version 1.3) don’t have the clock or timer. There is just a ‘sleep timer’ function.
EDIT 2: Having watched Steve’s video more closer, I noticed that he selected AUX by pressing CD < and > simultaneously. On my older SW version, you select AUX by pressing the search buttons (<< and >>) simultaneously. (Or A.TAPE or AUX on the remote.)
