Nice radio, great sound, the only thing that would make it perfect is the ability to do presets for your fav stations (would give it five stars if it did.Really looks nice, beautiful craftsmanship - you get why you pay for
I'm happy with the radio only because I bought it specifically for nostalgic reasons. The FM reception is fair, at best, on a good day! Adding a bi-pole antennae helps a lot but I have to fuss with it from station to station and I still find stations drifting. The kicker is I'm only 25 miles from downtown Chicago. Fidelity is decent when the radio has just been tuned in ... before it starts to drift. AM on the other hand is satisfactory.Unless you're buying it because you WANT a (KLH) Model One, there are better radios available for maybe half the price.
I have owned a Tivoli Model One for around 3 years. While I still like the radio and get fairly good reception with Terk AM and FM antennas, FM tends to drift off frequency. This was common with older FM radios. This is one retro aspect I wish Kloss had engineered out of this radio. AFC is not a revolutionary concept.It looks good, but the drift is why I would not buy another one. Spend your money on something else.

Both my sisters and a friend have one and they love it. Which is why I bought one. I love it as well. I recommend this to anyone and it looks great too,
