Any fans of high fidelity/good sounding table or portable old transistor radios?

I've got a Bose Wave also. Sounds fantastic at medium to loud volume settings, especially in a larger room.

But for use as a radio in the sleep setting, or anytime you want to listen with low volume, all the high notes seem to disappear and all you get is unintelligible bass. No matter what Bose claims, these radios need a tone control, or a redesign to cut the bass and boost the treble at lower volumes.
