Must be just a decent quality speaker, resonant cabinet and low distortion
amplifier. I agree with you, the 399 is quite a listenable radio for its

receives a bit better, but the sound quality is quite poor in comparision.

For it's size, why does this radio sound so good? Is there something
particularly notable about the components?
