AM and FM would be way down on the list, because of the mentioned lack of anything decent worth listening to here in the Coachella Valley.
I rely on my phone to pull in better FM choices. Or my default R. Paradise.
I've been on my daughter recently to figure out how to access all my music library through the cloud.

I have a nice little Bose speaker I've had for a few years. Sounds really great, but that model I have has had a problem.
If you push the volume... it will confuse it. It shuts off and all the lights start blinking.
So I have to keep the volume in check. Kind of annoying.
I  used to run a nice little metal box my son fabbed up for me. It had some pretty efficient box speakers mounted on the sides with a nice little Sony car stereo mounted on the front. I had a 120 volt to 12 volt converter inside. An extendable car antennae was mounted on the top. And a carrying handle mounted on the top also. I would plug it in a convenient socket and listen to FM broadcast.
It got a little old, first off, because the FM stations around here sucked. And still do. And second,  the memory of the car stereo would fail every time I had to unplug it for more than 10 seconds.. Very annoying.
So, now I rely on my I Phone Bluetooth, and either my old Bose speaker. Or my Air Pods.
I'd like to go back to a nice bigger sounding setup. Everybody that hears what I listen to, are quite astounded at what I listen to.

Monster Rockin' Roller 270 Portable Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Speaker 200 Watts

Up to 100 Hours Playtime, IPX4 Water Resistant, Qi Charger, Connect to Another TWS Speaker

may be a solution...

after reading for a spell I snapped and ordered some Edifier R1850DB speakers

great reviews and price friendly

we will see/hear them in a couple of days




just an update to my earlier update

yes: performance, profile and price

no: the manual controls are on the back of the right speaker

looks like the updated version has the contolio on the side (which is where they should be)

this is just a suggestion for those in the market

right now klipsch has the tried and true promedia 2.1 thx on sale via costco for $99

i ordered and sent one as a surprise gift to my son who happens to have a need

{#Arrowl}   my little avatar/moniker pic over to the left?

yeah that's a klipsch speaker (on a stand) from that set up
