FM broadcast vs. streaming


What are advantages/disadvantages of FM over-the-air with a good receiver vs. the same content picked up via streaming audio? I know FM broadcast cuts off at 15kHZ and I figure streaming has compression. What's the bottom line on the sound of the one vs. the other?

I listen to FM classical a lot via my trusty NAD tuner, and I find that it has an "air" about it that digital radio does not, especially noticeable during prime transmission times, i.e. between 12AM and 6AM. FM just sounds more alive for whatever reason.
