You don't want to hear the simple truth: no broadcast system can sound
properly at 40 or 48 kbps. Both Sirius and HD use rates like that, or
less. And therefore they sound bad. I've heard them both and yes: in
practice even on a rental car stereo they do not match the FM produced
by the same receiver and speakers.

I listen to a 32 Kb (22 kHz rate) mono webstream from KPFT and it sounds
great. Even music. Better than AM. Better than XM.

Yes but I was talking FM. Of course matching AM is not very demanding.
