With many local radio stations that we regularly listen to, I'm looking for a modern and low priced stereo receiver which boasts excellent FM and AM over-the-air performance for a spare room.
I have a nice pair of Monitor Audio S6 speakers and a bookshelf full of reading material and wish to have great radio playback too. It will not be using any other sources.Does anything like this exist in today's market? The usual suspects are from Yamaha, Onkyo, Sony, etc. I currently have an old NAD 7225PE receiver that picks up some stations well and other more distant ones are problematic, AM is pitiful.
Thank you.

- The best listening is with live broadcasts and the ABC has six state based orchestras - Timbo in Oz 14:10:01 03/30/19 (0)

- A 3 element FM yagi outside or in your loft, will still beat it where you are. - Timbo in Oz 19:14:08 03/18/19 (0)
