I have not tried HD radio yet but it is depressing to hear that it is lower bitrate.
We live in the burbs of DC. The classical station here WETA in DC plays live music sometimes that is just amazing. We have a Marantz 10B in the main system that I've used for over 15 years, and a REL in the bedroom. Even the Sansui 9900 is not bad.
Also, be sure to invest in a good antenna. We can actually pull the classical station from Baltimore now, using a Wineguard in the attic.
