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!

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

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.

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.

Tivoli Treasure

My condo unit does not get good reception so it was hit and miss when it came to listening to my favorite programs. This Tivoli is amazing: superior reception, and so easy to operate; on/off/am/fm knob, volume control knob and spot-on station selector set in a small, square, sturdy modern box, beautiful, unfailing sound. I LOVE it.

Love the austere look of the radio, and for a small, single-speaker system the sound is outstanding.

Nice Sound, AM is bad

I have the Tivoli PAL and Songbook. Those are great. The PAL battery is not too hot, but the sound is great. So I bought the Tivoli Model One radio. One for my inlaws and one for me. The AM reception stinks. The PAL AM is fine. Not the Model One radio. Would not work well in our kitchen. Any other radio was fine. I emailed Tivoli and they recommended the AM antenna. No luck. That did not help. I live in the Seattle area, not "way out there". So I gave mine away (along with the AM antenna) as it was too annoying. I felt better knowing somebody else may like having it. Looks nice.:)Oh, the Model One FM was OK, but not as good as the PAL. My father in law uses his occasionally. I should have bought him the Songbook or the Sangean PR-D5P Portable Radio (real happy with that and it has RDS). I would get that instead of a Tivoli next time. But the PAL is slick, but those batteries just don't last. :) I had thought the Model One would be as good as the PAL. Oh well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
