In today's world of shelf system stereos and boomboxes, the radio tuner component is usually an after-thought in system design.  As a result, radio reception is generally not a priority, and AM reception is dismal, at best.  The Superadio series is just what its name implies: sensitive reception and good sound reproduction.  It's not stereo, but the positive aspect of that is that instead of a pair of junk speakers, you have a single good quality unit.  Great for kitchen, workroom, garage, etc.  A real bargain!
