How clear does it sound? Would it be a good source of high quality audio for my HT setup?

if so http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/products/xmradio/xrt12 What do you think?

    My first experience of XM was with a XM2Go on my HT system. The sound was about like 128k mp3 or worse. I disliked the sound enought that I quit using it.

    However the other day I turned over to the new XM channels on my DirecTV and was blown away by how much better it sounded than the XM2Go. I have no problem listening to it now. I can only assume the Polk tuner would be everybit as good, most likely better.

    so it relies heavily on the XM reciver... I was searching for some but only found 3. A kenwood, sirus, and the polk. :confused: Thas not much to choes from. But I just found out the other day that I had been billed every month for the past 2 years $34.99 for a site subscription I never knew I had so Now that I canceld that I wish to go XM :p Damn **** sites stealing my money....


    "Programming on XM is a nice balance of music, talk, comedy, weather, sports, traffic, and children’s programs. For under $10/month, you get over 130 channels, and also available for additional fees, premium channels such as Playboy. A complete listing is available on their website."
