The wave radio is the best product bose make in my opinion, as a clock radio

Oh, I don't know. The 802 PA speaker is pretty good. The wave radio
just booms, to my ears.

I still have nightmares about Bose 802s! We used eight or ten of them on
a PA rig when I was in university, for smaller rooms or occasionally for
foldback. The equalisers were prone to expiring at no notice. They were
quite good when used as stepladders though, as they would stack nicely.
The cabs would take all kinds of abuse, but those equalisers were a
horrible idea, IMO.

Was it the 802 that used a light bulb for protection? I seem to remember
seeing them self-illuminate when driven a bit too hard, but it's a lot
of years ago, so it may have been some other speaker entirely.
