Review on Sony ICF-9740W AM/FM Table Radio - Premium Sound Quality at an Incredible Price (Discontinued Model) by Jeff Billingsley

You have this chunky box radio with sharp edges and NO handle! And for some reason the engineers didn't even think about adding a telescopic antenna for VHF reception. Last time I tried it AM reception was BYYMIC! Couldn't even make legs for it so it can be used on a carpeted floor (e.g. MINE) or at least the instructions don't say so. However, the sound quality from Bose is probably just as good. So far it has only been in the box it came in for a few months. Keep telling me to pick it up and try again, but I doubt I'll get better results than when I eagerly took it out of the box the first time. :( Also, GE Super Radios (unfortunately not sure if they make more) offer MUCH better AM reception. However, I have to admit that the sound is excellent when the signal comes through clearly. Otherwise I was very disappointed, however I am not quite sure if I should give 2 OR 3, the latter of course due to the excellent sound quality.
