Surpringly good sound

I was expecting a nice sounding radio but I was surprised at how well this really sounded. The dial to tune is very nice. The only thing I would change is the volume knob. It's pretty "touchy" and is not a detent type knob. It can go from soft volume to loud volume quickly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Looking for a simple radio my blind, rather senile mother could use with headphones to drown out the sound of the TV sports her husband listens to at deafening volume, this radio performs perfectly! It is simple enough for Mom to use, sturdy enough that she has not broken it, and both she and her husband have given it rave reviews.

I absolutely love the sound from this radio. It has great AM/FM reception, but I mostly use the AUX in for my computer at work. I replaced a Yamaha surround system on my desk with this and nobody can believe the sound that this produces. Deep bass and great highs and mids with a single speaker. Shell out the money, this radio is worth every cent.

Exceeded my hopes for having a compact high quality sound. Love the analog tuning dial as you can make fine adjustments to get a clearer signal.

A device with a split personality

I received the Model One yesterday and agree with those reviewers who find the radio section a bit bass-heavy and poor on speech. My favorite FM station streams its programming, so I ran a short cable from my laptop's audio out to the Model One's aux in. The difference is remarkable--like a mask has been ripped away. Sound balance is highly improved, and there is actually some 'air' around the treble. Voices are not bass-heavy. This is now the unit it should be, and I doubt I'll use it any other way. Tivoli says that the FM circuit uses discrete parts, but it sounds to me like an inexpensive receiver on a single chip. Try this workaround.

Sensitivity
on July 6, 2013

Let me be very clear about why I purchased this radio. It was to replace my old Radio Shack "Realistic" radio that I had been using for many years in a remote location with an external high gain FM antenna. I thought the new Tivoli would give me a much better quality audio that the old radio. I was very disappointed with the Tivoli after installing it. Its sensitivity was terrible. It only received one of the five stations I had been receiving with my old radio, and the quality of that station was bad because of weak signal noise. The Tivoli received a lot of good press about its quality, but it just didn't measure up in the sensitivity department! It would probably be fine in a big city close to several stations.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
