Rating: - Why such poor AM reception?
Ease of use, sound and FM reception are first rate. I am generally pleased with the radio BUT the AM reception is awful. I have two $25 clock radios, a Timex and a GE. Side by side with the Horizon Duo these two radios have better AM reception. In scan mode, the Horizon locks on only one AM station in Louisville Ky, WHAS, a 50,000 watt clear channel station.
Fiddeling with location and orientation helps a little. Maybe Boston Acoustics should consider purchasing a $5 AM tuner from Timex ... Read More
Rating: - Great sound, terrible reception
After being very happy with my Boston Acoustics Receptor Radio, I confidently ordered this Horizon Duo. The sound is everything one would expect from BA: powerful, clear, and well-balanced---far better than one should be able to expect from such a reasonably priced unit.
The radio reception, on the other hand, is dismal. I can only pull in one station, poorly, in an area where my Receptor Radio pulls in dozens quite clearly. Fiddling with the antenna helps a little, but mostly allows ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent product, except for the tuner
I purchased this for my bedroom for use on a shelf with a cd player and an iPod. I've lived with it for 2 months now and had the chance to use it quite a bit. The build quality seems quite good and it has all of the essential features you could want in a mini stereo system, including a neat little remote. The controls are fairly easy to use and the design is uncluttered. One minor quibble is that the top is slanted, so stacking anything on top of it can be a problem if you're tight on space.

I already own two Boston Acoustic Horizon Solos, which I bought on Amazon for about $85. One is in the bedroom and the other is in the workout room. My friend urged me to get the two-speaker Duo, so I finally capitulated and use it in the kitchen. My review will be based on my comparison between the $85 Solo and the $115 Duo.
Speaker Sound: The Duo wins. While I love the Solo's full high-fidelity sound, the Duo speakers really fill the kitchen with ease.
Rating: - Great Radio
Great sound for such a small unit and the reception is very good. The LCD can be dimmed to neer off so sleeping should'nt be a problem. Very easy to use and set presets and bass & treble make a big sound difference.
