Best countertop radio
on August 29, 2010

The Tivoli Audio Model One has proved to be a very satisfactory countertop radio for our kitchen. Sound quality is acceptable and it's capable of pulling in our favorite FM stations in our rural area.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome, classic style and well-built

I love this radio. I bought one for my home kitchen as well as my office. Its solid construction is a throw-back to the days when things weren't made out of plastic. I have it on in my office at work all day, and constantly get nerds walking over, thinking it's an old 60s radio. The only limitation is that this is a MONO radio. The odd time, my favorite college station (KXLU) will play a mono record and I'll miss out on one of the two channels. Doesn't happen often, though. The cheapo FM antenna that comes with it does the trick for picking up stations indoors (I'm practically in a concrete bunker), but it's not necessary for my home radio, which is near a window.

Great look and functions; sound is far too boomy, bass-heavy

Pros: This is a lovely radio: nice wood, good electronics, with a lot of options for pluggin in external speakers or other inputs such as an mp3 player. It is designed to compliment a room's decor and that counts for a lot, I think. Great FM reception.Cons: "Boomy," ill-defined bass which can't be adjusted--no treble/bass control. Bass ruins many kinds of music. Also to add alt. input (eg mp3) one must inconveniently insert plug behind unit to take over from the radio. Cambridge radio's better on this.Summary: A qualified recommend on this one. I love the look and functions of the Tivoli radio but the sound equalization is deeply problematic; a treble/bass knob is all this would need to make it a 4.5 star item for me, but Tivoli has not seen fit to make this improvement for years. One workaround is to adjust the EQ on one's mp3 player, but that's a hassle and also doesn't improve the sound of the radio. It's also inconvenient to have to reach around back of the unit to plug in external inputs like MP3's to take over fromt the radio. The Cambridge Soundworks radio is superior in both sound and convenience regard, but lacks the Tivoli's good looks.

Great radio

This is our third one. We have had two others for several years and really like the quality of sound. Have also connected a CD player to it when we were living for 6 months in another city. Also have two Bose radios but this is a much better value.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I Found the Sound to be Muffled
on December 8, 2010

This radio really needs a tone control. The sound is quite muffled. Also turning the tuning dial from a station at the lower end to one at the higher end is a chore. The dial is quite stiff.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very satisfied!

Very satisfied with the design and quality of the radio. Excellent sound from such a small radio...love the dials instead of digital which was one of the main factors in making my choice of the Tivoli.

Superb little radio

Great receiver sensitivity on FM. The sound quality is amazing. I recommend this little radio to anyone who needs high quality FM audio where stereo is not important such as a bedroom or office. The AUX input works well for my iPod.
