Pros: Easy to use, good sound, goes from car to living room
Cons: Antenna problems?
The Bottom Line: Go for it! The antenna problem we've had MAY be limited.

| erikscudder's Full Review: Delphi (SA10201) Speaker System |
I love XM Radio but I don't drive much so this was the answer. I can put the receiver in the boombox at home or pop it in the car.
But the Boombox I have seems to be not without problems and another friend reported the same problem. It's the antenna. We think. When we first got the Delphi Boomboxes, they worked great and received everything. Antenna placement was not really an issue. As time went by though, it became more and more of a problem. A year later, my Boombox is dead even if I perfectly align my antenna outside with a compass. I think the heat "fries" the antenna slowly. I'm waiting for Delphi to get back to me regarding this "unusual problem they've never heard of" yet my best friend has the same problem and he thinks others do too.
Aside from that, the sound is reasonably great for a boombox this size. It won't WOW you but it's an excellent bargain and I can't complain.
The unit comes with a remote that's small and prone to getting eaten by cushions. It's intuitive and easy to use. I would buy one again and antennas can be purchased separately.
