I was just reminded of a couple of years ago when I was doing some teaching jobs and needed a good portable "boombox" style system with near-audiophile quality sound.
After reading lots of reviews and trying out a number of systems, the best competitors being the Bose SoundDock and Altec IM9, I settled on another very impressive system (whose name escapes me at the moment) that unlike the desktop systems, would pack flat into a file box (8x11" and about 3" thick) -- which was perfect for a traveling teacher. Once I took it apart and treated the innards with proper damping, it was pretty impressive.
It's now a few years later... and I'm again curious what are the best portable boombox type systems that can deliver audio that an audiophile wouldn't cringe at.
