As to other reviewers' remarks about "digital artifacts" -- that's utter nonsense -- any such "artificats" certainly do not orginate with the boom box. I have the Sky Fi connected to my high-end stereo and the sound quality is superb -- not quite as good as CDs, but better than any other media. When I move the SkyFi unit to my boombox, I expect to get boombox quality sound, NOT home-stereo quality.

If I have a complaint it is that the antenna is a pain because it attaches to the back. It would be better placed on the top so the boombox would be able to receive signal regardless of orientation. This isn't a real problem, just a minor annoyance.

Delphi has done a great job of creating a true portable system -- car, home, and on the go -- and the boombox is an essential element of it.

I got to the point that I wanted to take my Delphi receiver on the move with me, so I invested in the boombox. I was hesitant at first, because I feared an inferior sound quality, but I discovered that I could control the bass and treble through the receiver itself, and overall I have been very impressed by the quality of sound produced by these small boombox speakers.

The reception of the XM signal has been quite good, even when I listen to it in my office cubicle, far from any windows. The system instructions recommend pointing the antenna through a south-facing window, but I find that there are enough terrestrial repeaters in the Denver area (even as far north as Loveland) that I can get a signal almost anywhere.

I love this boombox, and have very few complaints. One complaint is the price. After spending $100 on the receiver, I hate to have to spend another $100 on the box, even though I've gotten a lot of use out of it. My other complaint is the volume knob. It is not always very responsive, and is not good for fine-tuning the volume. However, the receiver's remote works very well for adjusting the volume.

Overall, I recommend this system.
