The way I am approaching it is: If I am going to get a clock radio, may
as well get the best sound for my money. That's all I am seeking.

If you're awake enough to appreciate quality audio, why are you
lying in bed? :-)

I think you are on to something here---why I am lying in bed when I
could be up and about---but this is no longer audio territory. :-)
