Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner


I just received the new Polk XM radio receiver. I planned a series of a/b listening tests with my old XM radio. It only took about 10 seconds of listening to realize how much the sound quality improved. Highly recommended. It is not quite cd quality but far better than the standard fare. FYI my system is Rotel preamp, Adcom mono blocks and Magnepan 1.6s.

I initially was going to order mine from the XM site (which links to Polk, so you really order from Polk directly). The price was $299.95 with free shipping. When I went to pay, they added sales tax. I cancelled the transaction and went to another site, xmfanstore.com, where I ordered the Polk receiver for $299.98 with free shipping and no sales tax. They are located in St. Charles, MO. Obviously, if you live in MO, you will have to pay sales tax if you buy from them.

IMHO, XM is still a winner even if they didn't have the Polk receiver for better XM sound in the home. I've had XM in my car for two and a-half years and I love it.
Is the antenna compatible with the Delphi? I just bought a 50' extension for it.
Maineiac,

I was wondering the same thing about the antenna. From the looks of it in pictures I've seen, the extension looks the same. I'll post to let you know as soon as mine arrives. To my chagrin, my unit has been backordered and was supposed to come in last Friday. I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation yet:(
The antenna is the same as the Delphi, just a longer length. I got mine from Crutchfield a few days ago, $299 free shipping no sales tax. Much better sounding then the Delphi, if you have a highend system. If you like XM you will love this new tuner. My only complaint is why did it take so long !!
