Well, clearly we don't all hear the same. As I said, I own
three of them and think they provide exceptional performance for the cost. I especially like the portability and signal capturing capability of the PAL. I will probably buy more in the future and have no hesitation in recommending them to others. I will offer that the Three is my least favorite from a sound perspective. I suspect it is because of the top mounted speaker not being optimum placement. I don't believe they are as good as the great radios of the past. All, in my opinion, are superior to the Bose and the Cambridge.
