I've been using Sirius for about 8 months. I've got it in my car (listen to nothing else), and in late July I got a portable tuner that I can hook up to either my main system or Bose Wave radios in the bedroom and at the office.
While I really enjoy the excellent, commercial-free programming on Sirius, limitations of the medium become apparent when hooked into my main system - - sound is noticably compressed, resulting in less dynamic range. Also, I really have to crank up the volume control on my pre-amp to get a decent sound level.
Given the limitations of the bedroom and office Bose radios - and my car audio system, for the matter - the Sirius tuners sound quite acceptable in those venues. As far as my main system is concerned, however, --- vinyl rules!
