Superb little radio

Ok, so it's not a stereo radio, but the sound is rich and warm and the FM reception is better than on my high end Onkyo receiver. I love the infinitely adjustable tuning knob and the perfectly balanced design. Even the maple wood is first quality. Keep it simple and enjoy this little wonder. No buyer's remorse here!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tivoli Audio Model One AM/FM Table Radio, Cherry/Cobalt Blue (

This is a dandy little radio - believe the wood housing provides better tone quality - had not heard that good a tone in an inexpensive radio since I was a child, decades ago. I actually intended to order the clock radio and ordered this by mistake, but liked it so much I kept it and bought a less expensive alarm clock.

This radio was a Christmas Present and it is awesome! The sound is clear and crisp and loud enough to hear in the kitchen from the living room, and the station tuning is easy and accurate - definitely a good buy!

I purchased this item because one of my brothers has one and I was impressed. I have read audiophile reviews of it in the past but it was the first time I heard it. Great sound, tuner is very good at isolating stations.

Tivoli Audio Model One AM/FM Table Radio

I bought this for my wife, who is blind, because the controls are so simple and precise. But I love the thing--the sound quality is superb, the tuner is excellent (we live in a Chicago high-rise and it gets stations other radios don't), and the thing oozes old-fashioned quality with modern performance. A gem.

My boyfriend asked for this radio for christmas, when I just saw the picture of it I was not impressed, I thought that because it was so small it would not sound good. However ounce he turned it on I was surprized at how good the sound quality was onit, best I've ever heard.

Tivoli Audio Model One AM/FM Radio

The radio was a Christmas present for my son and daughter in law in California. They have reported that the radio is excellent and they are extremely pleased with it. Very good sound and also able to plug in their ipod and listen to their own music that way. Can't be more inventive about this product except to say that my son does a lot of research before deciding what he would like, so I guess that's as good as it gets!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tivoli Audio Model One AM/FM Table Radio, Cherry/Cobalt Blue
on December 27, 2008

Hi everyone! For those who are not decided, whether this one is the ONE, I would like to share my experience.I was asked to purchase a radio without needless features and a good sound (to my mamma's kitchen - didn't have to be stero either) and there was a "money to be spent" limit.I surfed through a lot of sites with applicable "music box parameters" filters and among others this Model One came out. I'm telling you, it was love at first sight! Even if it was not for me, of course I was hunting after a radio I would buy for myself, i.e. not a plastic case, rahter a piece of furniture with a bit of a luxury feel. This one fulfils these conditions!Last thing I did, when making a decision, was the color picking. We've got almost the whole house in shiny orange and this Cherry/Cobalt Blue perfectly fits here. There are a lot more colors with different pricing, a green combination wouldn't be bad too. I've checked pictures of all the other colors around the web, but for the photos have been modified for advertisement, the colors are not very realistic, i.e. you can see a good looking picture of one model and elsewhere the same color doesn't seem to be that fine! Cherry/Cobalt Blue looked good everywhere, as much as I can remember now, so I bought one..Packing - a solid package from cardboard with polystyrene inside to fill the whole box and to make a seating for the "precious". You put away the upper part of the poly and see the wooden retro beauty. It is wraped in a plastic bag or something, so you tear it off and you can start playing with it..As for workmanship, the pictures you can see around the web don't lie. As for the color of this model, it really looks as presented.I am from Mid Europe and this is a U.S. product so I had to use the 12V plug. The manual says 12V/800mA, the standard here is 12V with a bit more mA's, but it works fine too :).I like the sound of the radio, it is designed to be rich, of course it is not made for mad parties, where you can't "hear your own word". So it exactly fits to its purpose - easy listening while cooking or reading or working on a PC ;) Btw. there is a hole at the bottom of the radio for the bass to come out, really nice work!...To be honest, I am not into AM band, so I was testing FM only and dare suggest usage of an external antenna. There are some reviews I have read saying the reception is good or excellent, but no details were given regarding which antenna was used, that is why I'm telling you, I managed to hear maybe 5 stations using the attached external "piece of wire" and one station was fairly "listenable" (beware, I am demanding :). If it was up to me, I would connect it to a larger antenna, which would be outside the house or inside, but with an amp, because this radio deserves it :) My Mom listens to the one station and is happy with that. Of course the reception depends on where you intend to use this radio.There are some functions you can read about in the device manual, so I won't bother you with what can be read elsewhere.Last remark - the plastic buttons :). I would swap them for wooden ones. It is the only cons, but from my own point of view. Believe me, it is not a reason to not buy this radio, I just don't like plastic much...To sum things up, I absolutelly recommend "Tivoli Audio Model One AM/FM Table Radio" for use as described above, giving 5 stars from 5 and if I was a broadcast band listener, I would buy this for myself as well or would focuse on other models from Tivoli ;) Enjoy, Adam..
I would recommend this to a friend!
