Sangean America WR11 AM/FM HiFi Wooden Cabinet Radio Receiver with Analog Tuning (1 Each)
Average Rating: 
Rating:  -
I was unable to purchase a simple table top radio without attachments such as a CD player or Ipod docking station in any of our local stores, even the large chain ones. I found just what I was looking for at Amazon.com; ordered it quickly and easily; it arrived safely in the time specified; and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It was meant to be a kitchen counter radio but due to its good looks it has a place of honor in the living room. My favorite am station has a clarity I have never been able to achieve on any other radio. Thank you - I love my new Sangean table top radio!

The Sangean WR-11 is a very nice radio right out of the box. Simple and elegant, it reminds me of the old table radios from the 60s. I have had no trouble recieving all of my local FM stations, most with beter sound and clarity. I really got this radio for it's reputation in the AM band and it dosen't disapoint. My favorite stations, and even some I had never been able to pick up before come in well. Although for long distance an external antenna is highly recommended. My only complaint is the green LED eye and band indicator lights might be considered garish by some and limits this model as a bedside radio.

The radio features excellent reception and high fidelity sound. The face is a beige color. The cabinet is solid wood. There's a light on the front that gets brighter as the signal gets stronger so you know you're tuned in. We got the radio to use in my workshop and it fits in great. With the volume up, I can hear it clearly over a combined router and shop vac. Mostly I've been using it at about 50% volume and it sounds excellent.

I bought this radio for my 84 year old understandably technophobic Mother. Simplicity was the order of the day. Old fashioned knobs and station indicator fit the bill perfectly. The receiver section is pretty good. My Mother lives in a rural area where most major markets are 60+ miles away. FM stations from as far away as 35-45 miles pulled in with simple wire antenna that is include and all of the AM stations that were tradionally available in her area were received with good quality.
Speaking for myself, the audio has too much bass. Combine that with the absence of a simple tone knob to allow the user to change the bass/treble balance leaves me scratching my head and wondering what the people of Sangean were thinking when they decided a tone knob wasn't necessary. I might be tempted to plug the bass port on the back of the radio with something to see if that cuts down the amount of bass output if I had bought it for myself. It's not for critical music listening but isn't bad for background music and listening to the news.
But it made my Mom happy to have a radio that she knows how to use. And the audio quality deficiency doesn't bother her. When she was a kid audio quality from electronics was crappy. For this purchase, the 3 star rating reflects my Mother's positive comments minus my critical remarks about audio quality.
Surely they can find a spot for a tone knob.
