How is the sound quality for classical music listening? I have heard that it does not compare to an iPod. Are XM and SIRI about the same in this regard? I think it is better than FM but not as good as CDs. Dynamic range is decent; but the highs aren't as crisp as CDs. That said, the big problem is selection. Each service has 3 classical stations -- one deeper classical, one "pops", and one vocal. Ideally a little more classical would be available, but it isn't likely given the lack of demand. Martin Goldsmith programs XM's classical channel, and I do like the selection on it. I just think a couple more channels would be nice so, if you don't care for Sibelius you can find some Beethoven on another channel. I don't listen to classical as much as I once did because there is so much to choose from. My car allows 18 presets and I need at least twice that.
