Radio Purchase question


I guess this is a mid/low fi question but I'd like to purchase a good table radio to listen to AM/FM. I'm finding the question isn't fidelity but rather just good old reception problems that I'm most concerned about. I have an old Proton that is disappointing. Does anyone have a table top radio that gives decent fidelity and can reliably pick up FM stations 80 miles away without aux antenna?

Try the Sangean "CC Radio" from www.ccradio.com. It does best on AM though. But has clock radio and presets and TV, Weather channnels too (about $160).
For $400-$500 the best I can recommend (and I own one) is the big but impressive Grundig 800. Available from many catalogs, like Sharper Image, and on-line Grundig dealers.
For a lot less money (about 50 bucks), there's the GE Super Radio III--excellent FM, 2-way speakers, but analog tuning only. Have fun.
