Tivoli Radio???

I bought a Tivoli clock radio and returned it. Terrible functionality and disappointing sound, but the speaker configuration is different in the clock radio than in the standard table radio. I bought a Cambridge Soundworks instead but I hate it too. Sounds terrible and is hard to use. I miss my old Proton except for its hum problem.

I have two Bose Wave Radios - bought the first one in '95 and the second in '97 (for office use). Thought they were pretty neat - - - until I got the Tivoli Model Two about 2 years ago - - sound quality of the Tivoli clearly superior to the Bose: no contest. Get one!

Thanks guys! I will tell my significant other that seven out of ten audiophiles worldwide agree that Tivoli kicks booty!
Ok, I am going to go scrub the Bose cooties off my hands before they crawl up my sleeves to my ears.

Make that 8 out of 11! I own a PAL and have purchased at least 4 (have lost count) Model Ones and PALs for gifts and prizes at office Christmas parties. I even bought a Model One Signature for my business partner, and the gloss walnut finish is stunning.

The PAL sees heavy usage in the backyard and on camping trips during the nicer seasons. The built in battery runs a good 6+ hours at half volume on a charge. Very cool.

So, I suppose you could say I'm a fan.

Enjoy.

I went and heard the original Tivoli when it came out, guess that's the Model One. Not only did I feel it failed to live up to Tellig's predictable hype, I thought it really sounded just plain bad and irritating -- certainly different but no better than a Wave, probably worse in ways though I suppose not as big a ripoff. Still, to me it looked and felt disappointingly cheap for the money as well. Didn't understand what all the fuss was about, haven't bothered checking one out since. In my kitchen lives Mr. Kloss's Advent Model 400 from the 70's which I'll take over that Tivoli anyday. (Satisfied owners please forgive me, and flame away if you must, but it ain't nothin' 'cept one guy's opinion...)
