Some people have written good things about some of the JVC boomboxes. They are very gaudy.

I bought my son a Cambridge Soundworks CD/Radio and it is excellent. More than $100, but worth it.

  I bought my wife a Cambridge clock / radio / CD player / iPod dock for Christmas and she loves it. It's not a high end audio device but it's sound is surprisingly full. It also plays a lot louder than you'd expect for something the size of a shoe box. The Cambridge's styling is conservative and unobtrusive which was important to her too since the thing sits on a side table in our living room. I think this particular model has been discontinued but I see that Cambridge has a similar one that adds a DVD player and video output on clearance for only $225. My experience has been that the Cambridge radios are pretty reliable. I've owned a model 88 radio / CD player for nine years. My 12 year old daughter has it now and the Cambridge continues to work flawlessly.

    Is there a particular model that you guys like? This unit will reside in my master bath area, although anything that can be portable would be a plus also.
    
    Thanks,

      I checked the model number on ours and it is the i765 which has the DVD capability and video output. They're $300 or $245 for "open box" (Cambridge has retail stores) and B stock units.
