beautiful object and neat finish. The sound is exemplary for a secondary use. This radio via FM or dezeer / smartphone is transparent with proper dynamics. A slight warm color that goes well with the retro side of Philips. Having hesitated with soundlink bose or p9, I do not regret my choice. For those who are put off by the lack of blutooth, we can as I have done couple an external receiver for an extra euro of thirty.
