Summary: Great sound for a great price 2008-10-12
Comment: I don't usually write reviews, but we love this clock radio! We loked at several at the stores, but they all had flat, tinty sound. The sound on the Teak is great - alot of low and high end & great seperation. The dual alarms and remote control are great features. The increasing volume, whle a little annoying, does the trick & gets me out of bed (O.K. - after I hit the remote control snooze a couple of times). We've been through a couple of MP3 alarms & this is the best sound so far. It may not have battery back-up, but I set my travel alarm as a back-up when I have something that can't be missed in the a.m.. Much better to have something that actually sounds good.

Summary: Great versatile table radio 2008-06-03
Comment: I had been searching around for some time for a good clock radio for the bedroom, with good sound and preferably CD. I had looked at the Tivoli radios and Boston Acoustics, but found the radio/alarm capabilities limited (the models available today may be more feature rich).
The TEAC SR-L100 has dual alarms, plays AM/FM/CD, and has an AUX input for your MP3 player. I think this latter feature is a must on any modern radio and I use it often.
The only downside I can think of is that method for setting some of the time functions is not highly intuitive. Without the manual (I have it, but was too lazy to go searching), it took quite a while to figure out how to change the alarm time just by trial and error!
The quality is good, reception is fine, and sound is good. I wouldn't say "great" for any of these, but certainly good and worth the money. Sadly, it seems this model is no longer available, although I have still seen them in Target stores. (as of Jun 2008)
Update: Perhaps TEAC has changed the display brightness in different versions of this radio, but the one I have is VERY bright in the dark, and we have to cover it with a cloth in order to sleep! An adjustable dimmer would have been great. Overall, though, highly recommended in its price range.

Summary: Excellent sound 2008-03-16
Comment: The sound quality of this rivals the Bose tabletop; certainly its a better value for the price. Its not as attractive and a little larger, but the features are well placed and the remote is very useful.
Mine got damaged by a bad surge, so if you get one, use a surge protector with it to preserve it.

Summary: Great Sound Quality at an Affordable Price 2007-09-26
Comment: The best feature of this unit is that the sound is rich and deep. Not the tinny sound typically associated with a clock radio. Plus, the bass and treble are individually adjustable (via remote control). The remote control is solid, heaviest one I've ever handled. It includes a sleep/snooze button, display dimmer, and all the typical radio/CD player controls. Only negative with the remote is that it doesn't glow or light up. Fortunately, the snooze button and volume controls are in the corners, making their locations easy to remember.
There is a headphone jack in the rear, auxilliary input on the front.
When the unit off, there is only one brightness setting for the display. However, the display is easily readable during daylight, and it does not light up a dark room (nor would I even consider it a sufficient night light, it's that subtle). Perfect. When the unit is on, the display brightens up a bit, which can be dimmed via the remote control. By the way, the lighted portion of the display is actually blue, not green as it appears in the picture here.
Another welcome aspect of this unit's performance is that you can't hear the CD player spinning about when the volume is set very low. Everyone who falls asleep to CDs knows how annoying a noisy player can be.
While technically there is no battery back-up, the unit retains clock/alarm/tuner settings if power is out for no more than 30 minutes. In my experience most power outages last less than 30 minutes, so this is acceptable to me. Others may not find this enough for their needs.
CONS: AM antenna is internal, therefore the manual advises to rotate the unit to improve reception. Obviously this is unrealistic. My unit is oriented such that AM reception was very poor. Fortunately mine won't be used to listen to AM. As such I didn't rotate it to determine how good AM reception could be.
JURY IS STILL OUT:
FM antenna is a wire that can be moved about to optimize reception. I do not have sufficient experience thus far listening to FM to assess this.
I paid $100 for this at Target and am definitely pleased with my purchase. If you are looking for an alarm clock that plays CDs, then you cannot go wrong with this one which delivers wonderful sound quality.

Summary: Great Sound but NO Battery Backup! 2007-08-01
Comment: This could have easily been a five star unit if the manufacturer would have added a simple battery back-up feature. What good is an alarm clock if it looses it's settings in the middle of the night? (experience talking......)
I'm simply amazed at the number of companies (including Sony) who obviously don't think this is a necessity. Sound is very good and the CD seems to be very well thought out. FM tuner is also very nice.
