Henry Kloss Model 1 Radio by Tivoli

For $100. via Audio Advisor this is a well built and excellent sounding radio. About 10"W, 5"H, and 6" deep it is easy to place, and with solid walnut (I think) sides, top, and bottom it is also easy to look at. The look is "retro" and is a modern version of H. Kloss' original Model 1. The sound character is mellow and non-fatiguing with amazing bass for a "little" radio. Simple to operate, it can be used anywhere there is a current bush. I have it next to my recliner, and am starting to use it instead of TV. It would work well in a garage, but I don't think I could bring myself to take mine out there. Highly Recommended. Note: I have NO connection with the Company or sales. Cheers. Craig.

.......I've been trying to describe the sound of this radio, and "tubey" is the best I can come up with.

Garfish: Thanks for the info. Sounds like it's what I need. Certainly it brings back memories of my old KLH Model 18 fm tuner from 1970.

i have a general electric superadio ll - kinda ugly thing, bur not-half-bad mono sound, & about the best sensitivity of *any* radio, i've seen, including the spendy audiophile tunas...

Hi Dug; I also have the G.E. Super Radio II and agree with your observations about it. At $50. (is that right?), it's an excellent buy. I've found sensitivity to be excellent also, and use it for radio only PAC 10 football games. For music, I think I like the Kloss M-1 better, but the G.E. is portable and more sensitive. The G.E. is also non-fatiguing, and is a fair comparison to the Kloss-- IMHO. Craig.
