Wish it had tone control

I would give the radio 5 stars except that it lacks a tone control. Other reviewers have indicated that they find the output has too much bottom end and I would have to agree. This is especially noticeable when listening to conversation. Tone for most music is acceptable. It seems to me to be a remarkable oversight for such an, otherwise, high quality piece of equipment. I contemplated a return, but decided that I would live with it and accept its limited faults. I enjoy the radio for the most part and find its ability to tune accurately, pull in stations and provide and overall good quality experience to outweigh its faults. -Jim
I fell in love with this radio when my sister let me borrow hers for a couple years while she was moving. She eventually wanted it back so I bought exactly the same model and this one is good quality also. Great at low or high volumes. I mostly use it to listen to the news (NPR mostly) and there is no distortion.
Greatest! TIVOLI AUDIO Model One AM/FM Table Radio

The TIVOLI AUDIO Model One AM/FM Table Radio is a very good product. It features a very clear, powerful, and full frequency sound. It's hard to believe that so much sound can come from such a small cabinet. The real walnut wooden housing is beautiful to look at. The TIVOLI AUDIO Model One is easy to operate and comes complete with AM and FM external antennas. I own 4 (four) of these excellent radios. I'm very happy with these TIVOLI AUDIO Model Ones. Get yours today. You will really like it a lot.
I purchased this one for my brother. He heard mine and had to have one for himself.. I bought mine "back in the day" --all those years ago because I was impressed with its resonant sound and its simple yet elegant appearance. It rivals Bose but at much less the cost, This is the one you want!
Many days I spend hours listening to this tiny speaker in its little black wooden box - in preference to larger stereo and home theater setups. I turn it on for news from Public Radio, enjoying the clear, natural-sounding voices, and when classical music programming begins, I am seldom tempted to stop.The output is sweet and smooth, wide-range, fatigue-free, and gives an amazing illusion of three-dimensional sound and of theater or studio acoustics. My memories go back to serious monophonic hi-fi, and when I first turned this unit on I thought, “Oh yes, I know that sound - that’s great!”My cat seconds the motion ... and she, in principle, hates all music.
Nice radio, beautiful, sound(ed) good, failed one month after warranty ended. Now it will not work at all, no sound. The power light comes on but it does not produce any sound.
