Title: Not up to expectations
Product review: I recently purchased the Receptor HD. Out of the box it was a fairly complex set-up. The antennas are totally inadequate. I am 10 miles across water from Seattle and neither antenna can pick up more than half the HD stations there. I have an Accurian from Radio Shack and it picks all the stations up with no difficulty using the same antenna(s) in the same place. And it cost 1/2 as much. The Receptor sound is "boomy". If you walk away from it, all you can hear is muffled booming. After 5 days, the radio quit entirely. Boston Acoustics was non-responsive to emails and has only a toll number with long waits to speak to anyone. They say they will repair it...but I must wait for an RA...and shipping is at my expense. Not a lot of confidence in their products! Listen and compare before you buy. The Accurian only lacks an input for external devices..and it sounds more balanced.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
