After some googling I realized Grundig Satellit 800 were highly preciated

7600GR I'm going to buy?

Most of us don't really need large radio like the Grundig. It really
isn't portable in the same sense as a Sony 7600 or Degen De1103, but
more luggable or movable. It's strong point is good sound out the
speakers. I would expect that you will hear the same stations on the
Grundig that you will hear on the little Sony. Just plug a set of
headphones into the 7600, enjoy the good sound and start tuning the
bands.

The Sony is a great little radio indeed. The SAT 800 just makes it more
enjoyable listening. With the 800 you can tune stations more precisely to
find that 'sweet spot', which IMO is very important. And the Sync is much
easier to use on the 800. I love my 800, but it cost much more than my
7600GR. For the money I don't think you can beat the 7600GR. But I also
think the 800 is well worth the price.
