There are two main series: the compact (radio only) and the slightly larger Wave Music System (includes a CD player).
The final version. It has a revised "mesh" grill and a brighter display. This is the only model that natively supported the SoundTouch Wi-Fi adapter for streaming. 2. Buying Checklist for Used Units
