C.Crane SW-Radio Advantage Over the Sangean LB-100: Speaker Sound

 

I've had the Sangean LB-100 in the living room for the last year since its sturdy construction can withstand most of my twin daughters' abuse though they did manage to unscrew the antenna a couple of times.

The LB-100 works well for me on reception but talk radio is too muffled and bass-heavy. 

So since yesterday I stopped listening to the LB-100 (though it's still in the living room). Across the room ontop of the piano (beyond my daughters' reach) is my C.Crane SW and it fills the room well. Moreover, talk radio is much easier to listen to in terms of clarity and tone.

I agree with you, Jeff. I think the same thing applies to the PR-D5. The CCR-SW is much more intelligible on talk radio.

Jeff - I thought you weren't a fan of the sound that comes from this model. Has that changed, or does this one just sound better than past models you've used? Because I always thought my Kaito version of this radio sounded pretty good.
