I would agree on the Tivoli Model Two. FM reception had been
problematic for me too, until I got one. (Tall buildings, topography,
and nearby high-voltage power lines all conspired against me.) Armed
with only its included single-wire antenna, my M2 managed to
outperform my separate FM tuners and receivers that cost a _lot_ more
than its $160.00 price. (And they were connected to amplified
antennae.) The retro-looking analog tuner is a lot of fun, and the
little thing sounds really good, too.
If you can live without stereo, Tivoli's monaural Model One ($100.00)
has a very similar overall sound character, an equally excellent
tuner, and requires less space and cash. It might even change your
mind about needing stereo. Check out both the Models One and Two at
http:/www.tivoliaudio.com.
Boston Acoustics' Recepter[tm] radio is mono too, but adds the
convenience of digital tuning presets, along with a clock and
sleep/alarm functions. For $160.00, it offers most of the convenience
features of the Bose Wave, but with better FM reception in my
experience, and at a price that is less than half that of the Wave.
http:/www.bostonacoustics.com has details.
Of these three, I don't think you'd be at all disappointed in any of
them.

I would like to find a receiver that is a great FM receiver. It would
be great if it was stereo, too.
I have difficulty picking up some classical stations and need
something with more receiving power.
Thanks for any help,
Dan
