Tim Compares the Sangean WR-1 with the WR-11

(Re-post)

Addressing some of the issues raised in Radio Russ' comparison of the Sangean WR-1 and WR-2, Tim writes:

 I bought a Sangean WR 1 and was very pleased with it. Yet, I could see how people complained about its "boominess." When the WR 11 came out as a replacement, I bought one, intending to replace my WR 1 with it. The WR 11 is less boomy and a bit brighter. But in the end, I preferred the WR 1, so I actually sold my WR 11! The lower end of the WR 1 is naturally affected by the immediate environment. 

I suppose in a kitchen or bathroom, and in solid settings in general, the bass could become annoying. I have it, however, on a shelf in my study where it sounds full and well-rounded. Yes, tone controls would have been tremendously helpful. But in the end, I'm quite pleased with the WR 1, and I think it offers a rich sound and decent reception, moreso than most other tabletop radios in production.

I also have both the WR-1 and WR-11. After spending some quality time with both radios, I also prefer the sound of the WR-1, though only by a small margin.
