I remember that for my mother tone controls had to be left on full
treble cut. She then described the sound as "mellow". Actually, it was
a bit of compensation on radio. Her method of tuning was to leave the
volume control turned way up, then tune just far enough into a station
to get the volume she wanted. This was medium wave of course. Later
she used the same method on FM - you can imagine the result, but she
still liked it.

Sounds like mine. On holiday at us one day she decided to do some
Hoovering while listening to R4 on FM. She turned it up to hear it over
the racket, and cooked all the tweeters in my BC1s. Used to having
compression on R4 medium wave (Scotland) she said -'but it wasn't that
loud'...
