I suspect that when the RX is tweaked to meet the book specs, which 
include 1% THD if I recall correctly, the sound from the Diode Load 
terminals is at least a bit better than "not impressive".

I may be wrong on the THD figure, though, and if it's much more than 
5%, it could indeed be not impressive.
