5 out of 5 stars Nothing as Sharp as this.......2007-05-23

Re: the bad review from Shadysprings, I could not believe we were looking at the same product. I am thinking
Shadysprings must have received a machine that was defective.
After looking all over for a phone-answering machine-fax combo, I decided to try this one. Everyone who sees it wants to order one. The footprint of the phone/fax is small and efficient, so it takes up a minimum about of desk space, unlike some of its competitors. I really like the color--I saw other machines that were black or dark gray and look too industrial and depressing for a home or contemporary office. The portable handset gets a good long charge and I can go outside far away from the base unit and talk to people.
The only minor problem I have noticed is the phone that is attached to the fax sometimes "blurts out" with a burst of the sound being louder. I don't know what this is, but it happens infrequently. GREAT PRODUCT!

1 out of 5 stars terrible product.......2004-06-25

does not print a fax report (manual makes a point of saying that!!) answering machine is a nightmare to operate remotely
volume control on the cordless phone is perpetually irritating

it is pretty, and that's the only nice thing i can say about it

3 out of 5 stars unhappy with cordless.......2004-03-20

Wow, what a great price, and so many features. However, everytime I use the cordless, I cringe. The sound is tinny...hurts my ear, no matter how I adjust the volume. I've had a lot of cordless phones over the years, and this one was the worst. The handset was just fine, however.

5 out of 5 stars It is indeed very, very SHARP!.......2004-03-16

First, I want to address "shadysprings"- I think you were sold a malfunctioning fax machine. Mine works great, in all aspects. I was able to set it up in 5 minutes and send a fax within 10 (you have to program in your information first). I do agree with the other people's suggestions that you read the manual carefully. It is LOADED with FEATURES like a 4 person mailbox. But overall, I am thrilled with my purchase. It faxes, copies, and takes phone messages, and takes up relatively little space. What more can you want?

4 out of 5 stars Great machine, but it gave me a headache.......2003-07-04

I tried this machine out, and liked everything about it except that it is a thermal printer, so it would be expensive to print very much. That accounts for the 4 star instead of 5 star rating. However, the reason it did not work out for me is that it gave me a headache everytime I plugged it in. Apparently I cannot tolerate the wireless signal. I have returned mine and will have to go with a corded system. Most people are probably not sensitive to that, judging by the number of cordless systems available nowadays.

My husband loves it. He's gone through a couple different brands of CD players, most much more expensive that that this one and says of all of them he likes the Audiovox one best! Being a musician he's using it a lot, especially while practicing at home.

5 out of 5 stars Inexpensive,loud and essential.......2003-01-21

These babies are loud and you can use an extension. There are other inexpensive ones like this.You need a portable disc player if you dont want to be bored out of your mind.

This cd player is OK. It isnt the best but its pretty good.It only has 6 buttons, but one is bass boost.The colors are OK,too. They should make different colors though.

          The DM602 is a hugely successful model for B&W - the second stand-mount in the range, albeit one with the ability to deliver performance to shame many floor-standers. The DM602 S2 is a 2-way vented-box system. The woven Kevlar cone of the bass/midrange driver virtually eliminates audible distortions caused by cone breakup and the aluminum dome tweeter produces an amazingly open sound. The high quality cabinets are attractively finished in a choice of Black Ash or Cherry. In addition to the double layer front baffle construction the cabinet has additional internal bracing to minimize coloration from panel vibrations.

          5 out of 5 stars Sweet Sounds.......2002-06-08

          My wife and I bought our 602s before Amazon carried them from a local hi-fi shop. We actually took the 602s and a few other pairs home to test out over a few days in our house. First off, every pair of speakers we took home sounded good in the store. We spent a few hours there listening to music and DVDs to get an idea of what we liked. When we got home, we quickly found that some speakers were so accurate that you could start to hear the short comings in our own equipment. I didn't think my $400 receiver was bad until I had some $900 speakers hooked up. Ouch!

          I would strongly urge anyone considering B&W speakers to listen to them personally first. No matter how good speakers are rated, personal preference should guide your final decision. That said, B&W should definately be on your list especially if you're buying your first set of "real" speakers.

          5 out of 5 stars average joe.......2000-01-12

          When I stepped into an audio store, I said show me all your speakers that are under $500/pr. What I found was pure clearity, superb hi treble and an accurate mid-range. B&W602 there is nothing like it, it sounds great for all types of music. But when it comes to hard beats from rap to heavy metal you will need a subwoofer to get that thundering bass sounds. But why kill your ear drums? B&W602 produces all the sounds that you expect to hear right from the recording studio. While many others speakers under $500 simply loose or degrade certain tones.

          Also I would like to add that the parts they've included are excellent (they didn't stop half way). The cone material is made from bullet proof vests and the connectors are gold plated!

          5 out of 5 stars Awesome speakers.......1999-12-03

          Very clean and crisp sounding speakers. I have them hooked up to a Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Player and Sony STR-DA50-ES Receiver. The sound is incredible. I just sit back and savor the listening experience.

          5 out of 5 stars Stereo Speaker Bargain.......1999-11-28

          After listening to many different speakers, I found they fell into three categories: 1) Cheap, and terrible sounding. 2) Expensive, and great sounding. 3) Expensive, and terrible sounding. Then, I listened to a set of B&W DM601s, and was hooked. They aren't cheap, but they are affordable. They sound as good as some prestige speakers costing $1,500 dollars more. I couldn't do better for the price!

          5 out of 5 stars A true hi-fi bargain.......1999-11-18

          I was surprised to see speakers of this level of quality on Amazon.com; B&W speakers are generally reserved for hi-fi specialty boutiques (although B&W's more expensive lines have not made it to this site). Forget the mass-market brands out there--none of them are in the same league as the B&W DM600 series.

Multiple channel selection lets you select the best possible signal from two different channels. The LF-20S is easy to install, requiring no tools for setup. The system is expandable, too: with the purchase of up to three additional receivers, you can use it with multiple TVs or other components throughout your home.

                What's in the Box
                Transmitter (LF-20TX), receiver (LF-20RX), 2 AC power adapters, three 3-foot AV dubbing cables, and a user's manual.

                1 out of 5 stars Not For an Apartment.......2004-04-23

                I bought one about a year and a half ago, and it got sent back right away. I have a friend that has one, and it worked great, but he used it in his house. I bought mine for an apartment and I think that all of the wiring, in apartment a/c, and the like just ran too much electric interference with it.

                1 out of 5 stars not received.......2004-04-22

                I have not received the ordered item after a month and don't have much success getting in touch with supplier.

                2 out of 5 stars Stay away if you are a tech junkie.......2003-09-14

                As others have said, with other 2.4 GhZ techs, there is a strobing horizontal line, and clicking with the audio. I had the transmitter and receiver about 15 feet away, and could not get rid of this. I tried different channels on my 2.4 GhZ internet, as well as my 2.4 GhZ phone. Trying to use this product with both other technologies was just getting to greedy with wireless! They just need to invent one that goes over the wireless LAN!

                3 out of 5 stars Nice picture if you have no other 2.4GHz products.......2003-03-11

                This product works great -- if you have no other products on the 2.4GHz spectrum. Unfortunately my 802.11b network and Vtech 2.4GHz phones were too much for it, and the sound was punctuated with sharp snapping sounds and the picture showed strobing horizontal lines. When I unplugged my 802.11b access point and 2.4GHz phone, the sound and picture were great. Buy it if you don't have other 2.4GHz devices to interfere, but otherwise avoid it.

                4 out of 5 stars It's not a problem with the Wavemaster.......2003-02-18

                I've read several reviews submitted in this and several other forums. I've noticed that opinions about the Wavemaster vary greatly by the intended use of the reviewers. Those that use the device for transmitting video/audio from DVDs, satellite decoders etc. are generally very happy with the quality.

                Those that are attempting to use the device attached to a computer are usually unhappy. They give the device a bad review without realizing that the problem is not the device. Most people are unaware that the resolution of a computer monitor is much higher than that of a TV. When you attempt to use a TV as a computer monitor you get very poor results. It doesn't matter what mechanism you use to deliver the computer output to the TV. The limiting factor is the TV.

                I purchased a a "Leap Frog" aka Wavenaster this weekend. It operates at 2.4 Ghz, and has 4 channels. It consists of a transmitter and a receiver (extra receivers are available for additional TVs). I hooked it up to my computer's video out and to my TV. Voila! It works great! Throw in the fact that my video card came with an RF (radio frequency) remote (doesn't need line-of-site path) and I have a pretty neat solution. I can sit at my TV and control a MPEG2 movie playing on my computer in the other room.

                Now for the bad. The picture quality is pretty good (at least as good as the best broadcast TV you've seen), but seems to be susceptible to intermittent static interference. Not a big deal unless you're really anal about that stuff. There's a slight underlying hiss and occassional pop in the audio. That's my biggest complaint so far. I'm pretty picky about sound. And don't think your gonna get THX. The last problem is that due to the fact that regular NTSC TV transmission is at such low resolution it's difficult to view text displayed on the computer screen transmitted to the TV. It's difficult to control the movie or browse directories from the couch. I guess the solution to that problem is to buy an HDTV or at least something bigger than my 25 inch set.

                This technique is not limited to computers and satellite signal decoders. I played with hooking up a DVD player sitting in another room. I also hooked up my digital camera and displayed a slide show. Anything that has composite output and can generate a NTSC signal can be used as a source (sorry no component or SVideo out for you video quality freaks). If you're looking for a high quality you might have to wait a year or so until a true digital solution is available. The advertised range is up to 300 ft. You should be able broadcast to you're neighbor across the street. Obviously, line-of-site is optimal, but if you had that you could also just run a cable.
