The Heart of the Receptor: BassTrac Technology
At the heart of the Receptor is Boston Acoustic's BassTrac technology, a proprietary Boston-designed circuit that tracks low frequencies and prevents audible amplifier distortion. Unlike conventional "limiters," BassTrac doesn't merely chop off the tops of the distortion-inducing signal peaks. Instead, it actually preserves the waveform's shape so the fidelity of the signal is maintained, while preventing distortion. For those of us who can't explain the difference between AM and FM to a room full of first graders, this basically means that the Receptor is designed to give you all the bass without any of the distortion. The result is a full, pleasing broadcast at any volume for any type of music. In other words, the Receptor will give you a rich and smooth sound, whether you're cooking to fusion jazz or waking up to the traffic report. Ideal for either home or office use, the Receptor features a high-sensitivity digital tuner that "locks in" distant AM and FM stations that other radios can't find. With its purpose-built Boston speaker driver, the radio is capable of receiving a wide range of frequencies and has a unique ability to pick up even the weakest of signals. With its precise digital tuning, stations are cleanly separated for maximum clarity. An Ideal Bedside Companion
The Receptor weighs in at about four pounds and measures 7.625 x 4.25 x 6.125 inches (WxHxD) -- the ideal size for a bedside (or kitchen) table. The radio includes 20 presets for 20 stations, and the dual independent alarm clocks can be set to music, buzzer or both. Like any good clock radio, the Receptor includes a built-in snooze and sleep functions. And a battery back-up stores both the presets and the alarm settings during power outages, giving you the peace of mind that you'll never have to worry about getting to work on time. What's so refreshing about the Receptor is that there is nothing ordinary about its functionality or design. Small enough to fit anywhere in the house, it's nevertheless powerful enough to create an exceptional presence in any room. And while it's technology is more advanced and complex than you'll find in most any other table-top radio, its controls are simple and straightforward. A wonderfully easy-to-read LCD display that indicates time, station, and alarms makes operation a breeze, and two large old-fashioned knobs (volume and tuning) are as easy to use as it gets without compromising on control.

Boston Acoustics Charcoal High-Fidelity AM/FM Table Radio- BARADIOB Reviews
Now the AM just died. Returned to factory, new clock, same result. Mine gains time so needs to be reset frequently if I want the alarm to go off at the same time each day. Neither of these things should happen to a radio with this price tag on it. A clock radio needs to keep time.
The best money you will spend on a radio, period. The reception is better than the Bose and with an auxillary input, it is easy to plug in your I-Pod or a portable CD player. That is only because the Bose has stereo output. Highly, Highly recommend. Compare it side by side to the Bose radio and the Bose will beat it by a hiccup. Why do I give this radio 5-Stars. On the other hand, this radio has a much better "footprint" and will fit on a nightstand or table much better. Because they wont let me give it 10.
Ned Voelker It helps to put a wine cork in the bass port. I agree that the reception is excellent, and that the bass is much too exaggerated. Not a perfect solution, but it helps.
they do not spend on marketing like the others. Boston Acoustics is the King of all radio manufacturing,. they just make the best product out there. Worth every penny and as you get used to the quality over time if you are an avid listener you will never get anything else because whatever else you buy will always be a dissapointment. this is the finest home or office radio you will ever buy, forget the names like Bose and B&O and all the japanese products out there. As an engineer i highly recommend it.
Enjoy. it has a softer glow compared to cheaper Sony models. The LED read-out is fantastic, and wont keep you up at night. Overall the feel of this radio is perfect, the dials are exceptional, and the buttons are soft but firm. I received this clock radio for my birthday as a gift and was immediately impressed upon opening the box. It's hefty and very well made, but not too big that it didn't fit on my small nightstand. If you're a big fan of well-design and well-made products that will stand the test of time (and not end up at a thrift store after 2 years) then I would highly recommend investing in this piece.
