Great FM tuner
on April 21, 2015

So far a nice radio. FM turner is Great but....The built in antenna is not good enough. The plug in wire antenna is better. I happen to have a set of rabbit ears laying around and that is the ticket. It sucks having them sitting on the table but reception is the best that way. Also you will find some stations have good bass and some do not. A tone control is needed for that reason. The built in AM antenna is junk. I could only pull in one station with it and like all am radios you have to move the radio around to get a signal. For the price of this radio it should include a am antenna. I am a shortwave radio guy so I had a sangean ant-60 reel up antenna wire. I plugged it in to the 3.5mm jack and it works way better then the internal antenna.With the rabbit ears the FM picks up stations I never heard before. But unless you live in the middle of a big city you will have to have ugly antennas hooked to it....kinda ruins the small sleek look of the radio. My other concern is the switch on the back for internal to external antenna doesn't have a positive click to it. Just slides back and forth. So all in all it's a nice radio with good sound I have only had it for a week so I hope nothing goes wrong.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had considered getting one of these for a long time. Totally fits my need (small radio for the kitchen). Plenty loud, good reception, excellent sound quality. And it looks much better than the other options that I considered.

Buy one!

I'd been relying on the radio part of my aiwa cd player--mostly classical on local station. When the tivoli came I couldnn't believe the difference. The treble, the base--I had been missing half the sound! All this without additional speakers, in a tiny footprint, without drifting and static. Besides outperforming any radio I've ever had, it wasn't designed by Darth Vader to look like part of a space ship. You turn it on with a knob and it goes. Buy one!

Not good at pulling up the AM stations

Could not pull up the AM stations we so miss. Tried a Terk antenna with it, but that didn't abate the static and other problems. So, will be on the hunt for a radio that can fulfill the requirements.

A Truly Modern "Classic"

I bought this radio for my father-in-law in April of 2015 after having owned my first Tivoli Model One since 2000.Sound and sensitivity are still top-notch, and his reception in rural Indiana is fantastic.Highly recommended!

For enthusiasts, not every day use.

The great redeeming value of this radio is that it can be connected to external AM and FM antennas. By itself it is practically useless for all but the strongest stations. With external rabbit ears for FM and a tunable AM air-core coil it is very sensitive and selective. But this is only for expert radio enthusiasts who know what to do with it. If you are after a great radio that performs well out of the box, look elsewhere.

Good radio in a nice little package

Great radio. Voice is crystal clear, not very loud but good enough. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone interested in radio listening. AM reception needs a little improvement. I wish they offered shortwave too.
