Amazing sound in an amazingly small and well designed package

I cannot get over the amazing and rich sound from such a small box. I can't stop listening to it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

No FM reception at all after about a year

After about a year, my radio started periodically making loud interference-type noises. Spent quite some time trying to figure out what device might be interfering. No luck. Now it has no FM reception at all. It plays AM on both settings. Shame that it has only a 1-yr warranty.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Reception? Really?

All my aunt wanted for her 80th birthday was a radio that got good reception of WBZ AM radio in Boston. She only lives one city away but her not so expensive radio was loosing signal. I was going to spare no expense for this wonderful woman. I was about to get the Bose Wave radio but read all the reviews and it seemed people were raving about the reception of this one. I was so proud of myself and bragging to the rest of the family of what I got. When I set it up I was horrified to see that the cheap radio she had got better reception than this one. I finally got WBZ but I had to move this radio to the corner of the room to get it. Is it me? I don't think so.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Selectivity and Sensitivity

Recently, WQXR (a classical music station)in NYC changed its FM frequency from 96.3 to 105.9 and this made it much more difficult to pick up on an ordinary FM radio. So I just now hooked up the Kloss Model 1 radio that I purchased with the "exterior" antennas (both AM and FM)...that you pay slightly extra for. The radio is fantastic because it zeros in on 105.9 with a sharpness (and lack of static) that is simply uncanny. The tuneable AM antenna is also great and increases the signal strength. The audio is mono but with very very good sound. My highest possible recommendation for this small miracle set.Lou Rotando, Hartsdale, NY

Great radio, even if just mono, but a little pricey.

I got this as a surprise gift for my wife, who actually wanted the alarm clock. However, the alarm clock version costs twice as much, and this is already pricey for an AM/FM radio. It sounds great for its size, and oh how I have longed for another radio with a big fat analog knob. The tuning precision is fantastic. The whole thing is easy to use and great overall, but I'm not sure it justifies the price tag. I probably should have looked for a used one, but I'm pretty sure these things hold their value anyway.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good looks. Horrible audio

The audio quality of this radio is really poor. Yes, I know it only has one speaker, but I'm not talking about lack of stereo. The tonal quality is so bad I can barely stand to listen to it. I only give it a 2nd star for a pleasing appearance.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Big sound from a small box

The Trivoli is in a basement studio and fills the room with a high quality sound at a modest loudness levels. It is perfect for our space. Each control is precise and has an excellent feel. Tuning with the variable brightness LED works well. Nice retro look.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Simple design, lovely sound.

What I wanted:* a small radio for my small apartment, with* a simple design,* warm, rich sound, and* the ability to play my ipod.I got what I was looking for, and also like the old-fashioned physicality of a tuning knob over a digital display (I spend enough time in front of screens as it is--and circles are nice). The price seemed steep, but now that I listen to this radio for hours every day, news in the morning and music in the evening while I work, it's worth it.Granted, I've never owned a super-high-end stereo system, so I can't compare it to that. But I would say that this sounds as good as a nice solid stereo with pure sound to an ordinary music lover.I usually play the Tivoli fairly quietly (my roommate can't hear it) and listen mostly to jazz, blues, classical, and latin music. If you're looking for a radio to crank up the electric guitar to ear-blast, or need a sternum-vibrating bass in order to enjoy the kind of music you like, this may or may not work out for you (I'd go test it for those qualities now, but the walls are thin, it's after midnight, and my neighbors are nice people.). If you have more modest decibel needs and like a pleasant, balanced sound, I think you'll enjoy this radio.
I would recommend this to a friend!
