I was turned on to buy this radio by a review in Monitoring Times magazine. That review was a glowing two-pager and said among other things that, "While audio fidelity is more a matter of personal preference, in a side-by-side sound comparison with an older Bose Wave radio...I preferred the factory preset audio of the Ambiance Touch to that of the Bose." So, I bought one and here is what I found:The sound is indeed fantastic. It is adjustable from every possible aspect, absolutely room-filling, the bass is never overpowering (unless you like it that way) and the overall, well, ambiance of the sound is first rate.
Overall the setup was very easy. I had it connected to the Internet and my Pandora account, working with my iPhone in both Bluetooth and docked all within the first five minutes of cracking the box. The setup wizard is very nice. The manual might mention it takes a few minutes to startup though. But turn it on and wait for the wizard or just step through the settings.
I wish also that the manual was more complete as to the Internet Radio functions. It is often hard to determine (at least for me) which category the sub-category is within and scrolling is a pain. A nice printed list of categories would help.
Although I like Pandora there are other services that I like better and hope that Cambridge will add them to subsequent firmware updates (at least there is a menu choice for updating from the Net). I would absolutely love if they could add MOG and Stitcher to the Home menu!
It would also be nice if the manual had a bit more on the remote control. A few times it wasn't so intuitive how to use it instead of the touchscreen.
Overall, I am truly happy with this purchase. If you are looking for a WiFi radio that will work with your other equipment, one that has a full Internet capability and one that isn't going to drive you crazy with an odd interface - this is the one.
