How is the audio sound quality on the E5 with a good signal and the wide
bandwidth?


Hi Telamon:
I'm listening to Radio Havana Cuba on 6000 khz right now (0519 UTC).
Both the E5 and my SW7600GR are tuned to it. Both radios have their
news/music switches set to music. The E5 seems to produce higher
frequencies, but the SW7600GR produces more lower frequencies.

In an effort to explain this effect without knowing the exact frequency
ranges involved, imagine frequencies on a 1-10 scale (from low to high).
I'd say the SW7600GR frequencies are in the range of 2-6 and the E5
frequencies are in the range of 4-8.

Initially I had a slight preference for the E5's speaker output, but
now I'm focusing on the lower frequencies from the SW7600GR and wonder
why they are lacking on the E5.

I wish I had a good microphone so I could record output from both
speakers and measure the frequency ranges that these two radios
produce.


The difference could be the speakers in the two units. How do they sound
with earphones? You could use the same earphones on both radios. I know
that the Sony 7600G sounds better on earphones.
