Great Experience

After years of playing the XM and Sirius radio game, I realized that I no longer felt good about paying to listen to satellite radio commercials. My office is loaded with computer gear and I was a bit concerned about this unit and its FM reception. Plugged it up and in two minutes had the external antenna plugged in that is supplied with the unit. The tuning was flawless and the sound is nice and warm. Perfect for my office. I felt almost childish discovering the joy of free FM again... with less commercials than I was paying for on Sirius. Great job Tivoli.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it!

I have a stereo system and I don't need to use it during the day and waste energy because of this radio. I just use my Tivoli radio. I bought the black model which fits in with my contemporary kitchen. I didn't want a radio with a clock because my stove and microwave have clock...How many clocks do you need in a room. I love the sound and I can hear FM from my kitchen in all my rooms of a 2 bdrm condo. The FM reception is super and the sound is fantastic. The AM reception is great so I can listen to the news without consuming energy from a TV. Great product and could not be happier.

Excellent Radio

I was afraid I wouldn't find a simple radio that had good sound but this baby has it. I think it sounds as good as my Bose Wave table radio. It is good looking, has good reception and small.

Great Radio, simple and dependable

I owned a few other radios and this Tivoli Model One is my favorite. Mine is in a solid black color.The wire antenna picks up my favorite NPR stations, whereas another model I owned (different brand) with a steel antenna was not nearly as reliable. It could be the quality of the tuner, but antenna placement/accessability is a factor too.It can be played very loudly, but I never really had it up to great volumes.The plug has no cumbersome adapter, which makes it all more space saving.Good sound, good looks, and a great little radio overall. If a radio can make you happy, then the Tivoli will.

Nice radio, however overpriced
on August 9, 2010

For some reason, Tivoli radios have skyrocketed in price with no changes to the products (40 - 60% increases in 2008). Anyway, once you get passed the price, the radio is actually pretty nice. As advertised, it projects a pleasent full sound from an attractive package. As others have stated, the tuner is very good, and the knobs are smooth and accurate. It also has an auxillary jack for your ipod. There's really not much more to it. Simple.If you like the look, and can deal with the price, you could do a lot worse than this little mono. Four years after my purchase I'm still excited everytime I turn it on. While not my go to audio system for a party, it's perfect for a kitchen, den, or office. Looks great on a bookself.I'm now considering the Model Two for my basement, however the price increase irks me to no end... Might just have to give Cambridge Soundworks a try...

Great design, but very poor radio reception

This is a well designed radio with excellent sound quality if you can connect your ipod. However, the FM radio reception is terrible. I can't even pick up local radio stations that comes in loud and strong in my car. When I do get a signal, the audio fades in and out when you walk around the room. For a type of technology as simple as a radio, I would think Tivoli would have mastered the antenna. Now I have to go out and buy one just to make this a worthwhile investment.

Retro Design, Modern Performance
on August 27, 2010
Posted by: BTNMD

A very attractive minimalistic design sets the Tivoli One apart from its competition. The performance of the unit is on a par with other high end tabletops save the availability of stereo reception; however, stereo separation from two closely spaced speakers is rarely adequate and this unit does not pretend to offer it.The tonality is excellent from the single ported driver. The tuner section is most capable, pulling in distant stations with ease and dealing with closely spaced frequencies well. A switched external antenna connection is provided in addition to the usually adequate internal device.Although Tivoli offers a Pandora version- skip it. The aux. input plugs right in to your Blackberry allowing Pandora and Nobex (in addition to any other source) reception plus the Model One provides the fine tuner section for local reception.Really an outstanding product well suited for bedroom, office or other small room use. Looks cool too.
