Well, now that I assembled the Philco, what could I say - beats the pants off of the Zenith.

And no extra noises on local any time of the day. With no antenna at all!

This is some sound!!!

I think though it is not necessarily those clarifiers. It's just the speaker is monstrous. I though the Z had a big one...this probably weighs twice as much. The bass is to die for. Almost like Hi-Fi stereo and it is the local AM station.
