Hi all:
Can you recomend a very good tabletop radio to buy ?
I need a radio with very good sound (bass and treble),
and I only need FM reception.
What do you think about GE superradio ?
I have a Tivoli model one radio, but I'm disappointed (excessive bass
output).
What do you think about Sony icf704L ?

Don't buy the Grundig S350-types,

Nonsense. The S350 is a great radio, and is outstanding for local AM and FM
reception. Very drifty on shortwave of course, but is fine for locals. I
have 2 - a Grundig and a Tecsun. While I wouldn't want one as my only
shortwave radio, it would do fine as my only AM/FM radio, particularly
considering the price and battery life.

My $10 Sony ICF-S10MK2 AM/FM pocket-radio, gets the same stations, as
my now-returned S350 to crappy Radio Shack.

I own a very nice little Soney AM/FM/Cassette Radio.It doesn't have a
built in speaker,it has Dolby and with ear buds or ear phones,(I have a
Sheena Easton cassette tape in there) it really does sound great on
cassette and FM.

Forgeot to mention, the over-hyped CCrane CCRadio.

If you didn't care for the Tivoli One then you will be hard to please!
Best little table radio for FM I ever had. Good luck.

That said, I am a bit surprised that you are not satisfied with the
Tivoli Model 1. While I do not own this radio, I have heard it in
several stores and it certainly sounds good to me. Before you buy
another radio to replace it, try moving it to different locations, even
other rooms, and see if the excessive bass output is tamed. Especially
place it in the middle of your room, even though you may have no
intention of putting it there permanently, and listen carefully. If,
placed well away from any boundaries, the sound is much improved to
your ears, you will then know that it is your placement of the radio
rather than the radio itself which is causing your dissatisfaction. At
that point you may be able to find a satisfactory compromise regarding
positioning of the radio.

Also try stuffing cotton batten into the bass porthole (if there is
one). The Tivoli has been highly rated so I agree with Joe's
suggestions to try things that moderate the bassiness. Alternatively,
maybe trade for a Tivoli PAL or SongBook - they should not be as bassy
due to smaller drivers. I'm looking at those in-store tomorrow.

I've also listened to the Boston Acoustics Recepter in-store - very
impressive sound output and I understand the tuning knob can also be
switched to select presets.

Just tried briefly in-home the CENTRIOS WOODEN CABINET RADIO from The
Source
http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Pr...duct=12 19025
..
Looks like the Sangean WR-1. Also somewhat woofy and tiresome over
extended listening but seemed to have excellent sensitivity and
selectivity. My wife did not like its appearance in the kitchen so we
have it no longer.

I wonder if Radio Shack has the same unit under its label: Hi-Fidelity
Table-Top AM/FM Radio 12-204
