Because I have got none...

A wallet full of $$ should solve that problem Michiel!

you need to be more specific Michiel, a jvc what exactly

70 and or 90 

I thought so best of luck getting one mate

Correction

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Those are two of the biggest hitters out there. Keep your eye out though...you never know!

I have 2 boxes on my wish list at the mo, surprisingly an m70 and Aiwa tpr990.

I don't have the cash yet but things may change in the future hopefully oh and another d8614 as I would love 2 of my fave box so that's 3.

Get a kaboom DP200, much more fun and cheaper than the M70 or M90.

You just need to get over the unconventional design.

I'm starting the third row of my wall of sound and I want to kick off with a really good box  Yeah, I know they are costly... This isn't a cheap hobby anyway...

Lav, yesterday I got my third D8614! The dark grey one with black handle and black back. Even the VU window is still a little clear  Got it with fully working cassette, until it died today after playing 3 tapes lol... Everytime I start one of the 8614's up, I'm amazed how good it sounds!

There must better and more fun radios indeed, maybe I got them already  But I really want one for the looks.. What a snob huh..

Indeed there probably are, but unfortunately I don't have the space or money to buy them to find out.

Admittedly there is more coolness factor with the M70/90, than with the DP200. But it is because everyone else is chasing the M70/90 that the DP200 wins out on price easily by a factor of 10.

The DP200 is no slouch by any measure, it's just a different breed of JVC

Correction, I already have a JVC!  A mono brick with TV called 3060EU. But that is far from the real thing...

From all the kabooms the dp200 is the most wicked looking one for sure. Sadly I hardly see them comming up on the local auction sites over here. I did a bid on a RV-B550 this morning. No idea if this is a good box or if it has a cassette player, but for 30 euros its okay to try one I guess.... It has a remote and strap. Looks like a nice outdoor box...

you kept that one quiet Michiel shame about the deck mate, and your right about the sound, amazing but il'e say no more as peeps are sick of me ranting over it lol

i keep quit as possible about getting new 8614's... don't wanna go into history as Lav the 2nd and the d8614 promotion team lol... BUT they are great radios! 

ha ha lol

Got a deal for a nice 70 

nice one Michiel, be sure to keep us updated

Of all the kabooms only the DP100 and DP200 have user controllable Bass and Treble functions. The B550 is a smaller less powerful kaboom to the DP200.

Better I skip the B550 then and go for a DP100 or 200 if one comes by as I really dont have enough space for a lot of kaboom shaped boxes just for finding out the nicest one... Thanks for the tip plop!

I'll keep you guys informed about new radios. Will upload a new find from this week tomorrow... can't up pics from my iPad so gonna use my work pc...

look forward to em

Although the dp200 may not look as good it murders an m90 for sound...just my humble opinion and they can go for next to nothing..... im lucky i have 2 one boxed

a word from the wise Michiel,youll need tonnes of cash for the m70 and m90,mine combined in value set me back £700,but they were minters-sadly as most members know though they are long gone now,and i wish i could turn back time and have them back,so once you get them....BLOODY KEEP THEM!!!!

Well I've got an M70 and it didn't cost me a fortune   I've also got the Aiwa TPR990 on Az's wish list and that didn't cost me a fortune either   I've accepted that I'll never own an M90 though as I can't afford one, all my boxes have to be bargains, its the only way I'll buy them and I can't ever see a bargain M90 coming up

I'd take a Kaboom just for its sound if I found one cheap locally but they're damn ugly imo

top advice there from mr tandy...got management potential there mate...giving the advice most managers do ie 'do as I say not as I do' lol  

never a truer word said si bro-hope to be going on a landscape gardening course on thursday and friday this week to earn my city and guilds so i may never make it back to the board room ever again

oh and michiel my only jvc is my 9475 that i got off del,and thats going no where buddy

landscape gardening?...nice...I'd like a job in gardening, had a massive garden in the old house that took me 8 years to save from the previous owners 15 years of abandonment...loved it.  Can only name about 3 plants tho so I'm the original clueless gardener lol

So who will Lord Sugar turn to now if your abandoning the board room?

Wise words Andy! Normally I haven't got any wishes for a particular box. So most of my boomers were not expensive and cheap lucky finds. Things are getting costly if you really want a particular box and are inpatient. You see that on eBay all the time... I want this box, so I know its gonna cost me Think I'll keep it for a long time....

good luck michiel, hope you find  the m70 and m90, and i agree that these b-boxes once obtained ,they need to be kept, due to the fact even a high selling figure like $1200 for a m90 is outstanding ! yet, these item's are difficult to find and in my opinion they could serve me well for years to come !! money will come and go... but a true affection i dread losing  

Followed your advice plop! Got myself a cheapo DP100! The bass of this beast is awesome!  The cassette is in need of repair (it only clicks 5 times when I power up the kaboom), it has dents in the speaker grills and there is no remote, but even then it rocks! 

I have a jvc

Nice! A walkman? Or boombox? I got some jvc boxes finally! 

a small boombox!!!!

rcs5 or something like that, do not know the name

Nice! Do you have a pic of it? Is it a micro cassette?

Nice mini jvc boombox!  Love the M4440 to! Very nice walkman, got one too  Is it your nib one?

No that is the one I can use!, the new in box is still new in box

Smart! I sold my nib and got a used one for 1/10th of the price  Only problem is that it doesn't auto shut off every time, so I can't use it to fall asleep. They sound great those 4440 and it can use the d6c power adapter!
