Hello all,
At present I have an Onkyo TX-8011 stereo receiver (no Dolby, no home
theater, nothing else, just plain stereo). It has moderate power, remote
control, and looks and sounds great. Just one problem. I live in a poor
reception area and it doesn't pull in a few FM stations I'm interested in. I
cannot install an outdoor antenna in the apartment complex in which I live.
I would like to get a receiver in the $150-$200 price range with better FM
reception. Can anyone recommend a receiver which might do the job or can
anyone suggest a super indoor antenna which might do the job with the Onkyo?
Thanks.

If your receiver is otherwise satisfactory, it's unlikely a new one
will improve FM reception. Your best bet is to invest a good indoor FM
antenna.

Consider the Terk FM50 a/k/a 'FM pro' antenna. If the signal is
present at all, this baby will pull it in.

In my living room it's anchored to the ceiling behind the drapes. No
one sees it.

Agreed. I, too, have had great results with this antenna which I leave
on the windowsill behind the drapes.
