WR-11SE AM/FM Table Top Radio - 40th Anniversary Edition

Fue un regalo para mi mamá. La estética retro fue convincente para darle una oportunidad ya que a mi mamá no le gusta lidiar con los aparatos más modernos que no son amigables para ella. Es un poco elevado de precio pero tampoco se me hizo demasiado caro tomando en cuenta la calidad de construcción y la buena recepción que tiene.

This is one mighty fine radio! Yes you get what you pay for, and it's a good thing..... as this WR-11SE is worth every penny of it's price point, it is just that nice. Why? The combination of excellent design & quality components come together beautifully in this radio, so both form & function are simply outstanding. What I love about this radio....... 1st, it looks fantastic... I love the wood cabinet & it's easy to read beautifully lit control panel. It sounds great! You get clean clear crisp full range modulation with the 7 watt speaker through the acoustically tune wood cabinet, and.... this radio has some real full bodied VOLUME to it, that does not distort when turned up. Ease of operation - IMO this old style radio is a breath of fresh air... it's simple control interface is as user friendly as it gets! Tuning - This is the kind of tuning I can enjoy, manual.... as it allows you to make the kind of precise adjustments needed to zero in on your target station of choice with pinpoint accuracy.... Reception - Reception is what it is all about, and The WR-11SE's reception ability is excellent, close to amazing really.... this radio has outperformed EVERY radio I have purchased in the past 15 years. OK Up until now I have had nothing but great things to say about this great radio.... So now it's time to get to the ONE thing Sangean did wrong here...... The radio comes with a plug in wire antenna.....OK, that's fine but where is collapsible antenna? Answer - it does not come with a telescoping antenna... It seems to me to be a bit illogical to not just include the antenna that is BEST suited to provide the BEST reception possible with such a fine radio, along with the cheap/inferior wire antenna... so the consumer has the option to use whichever antenna best suits his/her individual needs. I knew the wire antenna would not provide the degree of reception that I needed to pull in the only station I like to listen to, so when I ordered the WR-11SE I also ordered a collapsible dual band antenna that you can get here on Amazon... After testing both antennas my assumptions were proven correct.... the wire antenna could not secure the station signal I was targeting..... but the telescoping antenna was able to fully attenuate to the signal so I could tune it in loud & clear! So.... if you want to listen to stations that do not come in clearly, you really need to get a collapsible antenna so you can get the best reception possible. OK Having said that.... I will say that even though it was irksome to have to purchase another antenna, It is not a big enough transgression to merit deduction of a star as the additional antenna was inexpensive. So to wrap this up.... IMO this Sangean WR-11SE is a highly recommendable radio, get it while you can... you won't regret it! 5 Stars

Fantastic radio. Misleading ad- looked like it was a local supplier so shipping took ages. Also, it needs either a stepdown AC voltage adapter (hard to find) or AC to DC converter. Ad stated it needed two batteries- it doesn't. Looks great, sounds great and station doesn't wander. Very pleased with item.

un aparato fantastico,.... pero OJO QUE LA CORRIENTE VA A 120,... NECESITAS TRANSFORMADOR,... SI ES EN ESPAÑA,... COMO LO ENCHUFES LO FUNDES,... DE TODAS FORMAS LLEVA ENCHUFE AMERICANO Y TE DAS CUENTA. BASICA TOTAL AM Y FM PERO UN PRODUCTO MUY TERMINADO Y MUY BUEN SONIDO,... TE HARA FALTA ADEMAS ANTENA FM ESTERIOR PARA CONECTARSELA POR SI NO LLEGA BIEN LA ONDA,... ES UN CAPRICHO,.... TOTALMENTE VINTAGE..... viene de TUQUIA... ANKARA

I was looking for a good radio for tabletop use at home. (Tired of degenerate, negative television and wanted something to listen to during the day.) I read the positive reviews online and also saw that the Sangean WR-11 and WR-11SE (identical other than finish) made a top ten tabletop radio list from an electronics review site. So I ordered the WR-11SE (liked the slightly darker finish) and I must say that this radio has exceeded my expectations immensely. Even before plugging it in and turning it on, you can tell that it's quality. The fit and finish are A+ and a lot of attention to detail went into it. It has a good heft and weight to it without being too bulky for an end table or shelf. Reception is outstanding. I love the retro look of the analog dial, but the cool thing is how it assists you when you're tuning into a station. It will sort of dial it in more clearly for you when you're close to the frequency. It's like having the old school analog look while having the benefit of digital tuning. This is especially helpful when you have two station frequencies close to each other on the dial. Sound quality is excellent. The single speaker produces deep, rich tones. Voices are clear while music isn't tinny and weak. If you enjoy a little bass, you'll like how this radio sounds. And there's plenty of power here, too. Volume can fill a room just fine with the dial set at only a fraction of what it's capable of doing. So if you're looking for a good quality tabletop radio without a lot of bells and whistles, consider the Sangean WR-11 or WR-11SE. I believe in praising companies that produce an exceptionally good product at a fair price and Sangean definitely accomplished that with this excellent radio.
