Philips Streamium NP2900

When the Logitech Squeezebox Boom came out last year, it set a new standard for Wi-Fi radios. Yes, it was expensive, but it offered excellent sound quality, a smart design, and tons of features in a tiny package--no competing products even came close. The Philips NP2900 is the first real...

Grace GDI-IR1000

Editors' note: The GDI-IR1000 is nearly identical to the GDI-IR2000, except the GDI-IR1000 lacks a remote and an auxiliary input. Otherwise, the units are identical, and therefore the reviews are very similar. One of our favorite products of 2008 was the Grace ITC-IR1000 Wi-Fi radio. It was affordable with...
