Update for Use with Alexa
on July 9, 2015
Posted by: Aging B.

Original review is below. This is an update after we bought an Echo Dot:We recently bought an Echo Dot to use with the cherry Model One in our kitchen. It works great, allowing us to select our favorite FM channel (usually NPR news) when we come down for breakfast each morning and then throughout the day (usually NPR talk, classical, jazz, or blues). We like the kitchen Alexa setup so much we bought a second Echo Dot for my bedroom nightstand to use with the black Model One I bought a few years ago to use as a computer speaker. That setup also works great, so today I ordered a second black Model One for the nightstand on my wife's side on the bed. As a result, the Echo Dot and two Model One radios will replace the pair of Grace Audio Mondo ratios we have previously been using for bedtime music and wake-up news.Original ReviewWe have had this radio in our kitchen for years and we love it. Since we live on a hillside where we get very poor radio reception we use it as an internet radio with an iPod Touch and the Tunein Radio app. Last week I bought another Tivoli Model One, along with a set of Bose Companion 2 Series III computer speakers, to see which would sound better as a speaker for our desktop computer.Based on a direct comparison in our home, the Tivoli Model One had similar bass to the Bose speakers, even though it only has one speaker vs. the Bose' two separate bass speakers. The determining factor was that the Tivoli's higher frequency sounds were much sharper and clearer than the Bose speakers. I returned the Bose computer speakers and we now have an excellent monaural speaker for our desktop computer.

Great little radio. Wish it had presets, though. Seems crazy that you have to buy a high-end radio just to get decent tuning. Should be standard. Our cheap radios are horrible in that regard.

Gift for my son for his studio apartment and he loves it. It's perfect when you don't have a lot of space and don't need a full blown stereo system. Most millennials listen to their portable devices with headphones, anyway, so those big stereos aren't needed. He uses it for the ball games, and to have background music when guests come over. One nice bonus is that it wasn't stolen when his apartment was burglarized - the "old school" look probably made them think it was not of value.

I am disappointed that I am not getting the stations as I had hoped. Maybe I need another kind of antennae?
