My new PR-D5 arrived today. I agree, AM audio is a bit muffled or muted, better on strong stations than weaker ones; but reception is great, as good as anything I have. FM stereo audio is very good to my ears; surprising given the small speakers and how close together they are. FM reception is better than average, but not as good as my best portables. Build quality seems good except for the preset push-buttons; they feel flimsy. I won't be using them very much for fear of wearing them out.
It's an odd bird; not as robust-sounding as a good boombox or tabletop, but not exactly a portable, either. Still, I'm glad I have it; it fills a niche in my collection.
