SangeanWR-11 Wood Cabinet AM/FM Table Top Analog Radio Wooden

If I could, I would rate this radio a 10! I have been looking for a radio that fits nicely on a small bedside table that has excellent FM sound and this radio has it all! I purchased it as a birthday gift for an elderly disabled relative who loves the Philadelphia Phillies.Both FM and AM sound are crisp and clear and finding the radio Phillies station was simple. A little green light goes on when you find the best sound for the station, and I find this to be a great idea so I don't have to keep moving the dial needlessly. The wooden design is beautiful and the set-up was very simple.It has an earphone socket plus and internal system and an external antenna terminal as well as a stereo jacket.If you want a solid, easy to use radio, I highly recommend this one.

This is one mighty fine radio!Yes you get what you pay for, and it's a good thing..... as this WR-11SE is worth every penny of it's price point, it is just that nice.Why?The combination of excellent design & quality components come together beautifully in this radio, so both form & function are simply outstanding.What I love about this radio.......1st, it looks fantastic... I love the wood cabinet & it's easy to read beautifully lit control panel.It sounds great! You get clean clear crisp full range modulation with the 7 watt speaker through the acoustically tune wood cabinet, and.... this radio has some real full bodied VOLUME to it, that does not distort when turned up.Ease of operation - IMO this old style radio is a breath of fresh air... it's simple control interface is as user friendly as it gets!Tuning - This is the kind of tuning I can enjoy, manual.... as it allows you to make the kind of precise adjustments needed to zero in on your target station of choice with pinpoint accuracy....Reception - Reception is what it is all about, and The WR-11SE's reception ability is excellent, close to amazing really.... this radio has outperformed EVERY radio I have purchased in the past 15 years.OKUp until now I have had nothing but great things to say about this great radio....So now it's time to get to the ONE thing Sangean did wrong here......The radio comes with a plug in wire antenna.....OK, that's fine but where is collapsible antenna?Answer - it does not come with a telescoping antenna...It seems to me to be a bit illogical to not just include the antenna that is BEST suited to provide the BEST reception possible with such a fine radio, along with the cheap/inferior wire antenna... so the consumer has the option to use whichever antenna best suits his/her individual needs.I knew the wire antenna would not provide the degree of reception that I needed to pull in the only station I like to listen to, so when I ordered the WR-11SE I also ordered a collapsible dual band antenna that you can get here on Amazon...After testing both antennas my assumptions were proven correct.... the wire antenna could not secure the station signal I was targeting.....but the telescoping antenna was able to fully attenuate to the signal so I could tune it in loud & clear!So.... if you want to listen to stations that do not come in clearly, you really need to get a collapsible antenna so you can get the best reception possible.OK Having said that.... I will say that even though it was irksome to have to purchase another antenna, It is not a big enough transgression to merit deduction of a star as the additional antenna was inexpensive.So to wrap this up....IMO this Sangean WR-11SE is a highly recommendable radio, get it while you can... you won't regret it!5 Stars

First impressions: delivered in 3 days, original est. was 6 days. Packaged & protection was safe & secure. Great heft & feel. Beautiful cabinet, kind of a cherry/maple hue, old timey nostalgia. Incredible sound.30 yrs ago I had a Bose Wave, great unit & sound but it gave up the ghost after a couple yrs &. and I wasn't going to fork over another $200 to replace.With this Sangean SE, I have no complaints on the amount of bass, channel wandering or volume fluctuation. Best purchase I could have made, no regrets! The sound is just as good as my Bose was.While researching this unit I found a multiple, slew of dimensions. Unless Sanjean has changed design over the years, mine measures 9-1/2" lg. x 6" dp. x 4-5/8" highEasily 5 stars!ADLIB EDIT: I've had this for about 2 weeks now and realize just how good this radio is, especially regarding clarity of sound. I like the 60's & 70's oldies and pick up lyrics now that are precise and clearly understandable. Previously for me many lyrics could be hard to discern. This is a joy.
