The Sony Portable DVD Player.......2007-12-15
PROS: All of the accessories that come with this DVD player are great the remote is cool. The swivel screen is very cool to i like how you can play cds and mp3 and all that kind of goodness. The two headphone jacks, the a/v in and out options is nice with the hook up to a tv set or monitor is a great idea too.
CONS: This Machine is very good all round the only downside to it is the picture quality. What I mean by that is that the LCD screen is liney what i mean by that is that you can notice the vertical line (at least I do). The other thing that i noticed is that you have to have the screen in the direction of you otherwise it looks as though the picture is too dark or whatever.
Sony DVPFX810R.......2007-12-14
I love my sony DVPFX810R. The swivel screen is great. This versatile player is compatible with the following media formats: DVD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, and MP3 and I have had no problem with any of hte formats so far. My only complaint would be the battery life.

***NOT IN STOCK***.......2007-12-02
This unit is not in stock and is not shipping. I have had my shipment delayed 4 times with no guarantee of receiving before Christmas. If you are ordering as a Christmas gift, do not order from Amazon. I have purchased many items from them and they have been terrible with this order and only after 4 delays they now tell me this item is backordered. I think it is only fair potential buyers know this before ordering. If I get my unit I will update this review. My original order was back on November 17th and I still do not have it and no date given after multiple discussions with customer service.

Amazon.com Review
The Tivoli Model One has been praised far and wide for its high-quality sound, small size, and cool, retro styling. We got our hands on a sample unit and came away impressed, just as many others have. Anyone who wants a compact, stylish radio with surprisingly good sound should give the Model One a look.
Design
In many ways, the Model One is the culminating achievement of famed audio engineer Henry Kloss's long career. Designed from the ground up by Kloss, who passed away in 2002, the radio exudes understated class and elegant simplicity. We received the Platinum Series Model One, which features a hand-lacquered, high gloss dark walnut cabinet that is simply gorgeous. According to Tivoli, the genuine wood casing isn't just for looks as it provides "an acoustically inert housing" that maximizes the speaker's sound quality. At just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep, the Model One is about the size of a toaster turned on its side-- plenty small to fit on a desk, dresser, or nightstand.
The Model One's single rotary dial handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. It feels sturdy and smooth in the hand. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that is a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob-- a 5 to 1 ratio, to be exact. This "ratio" dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios.
The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control. Plus, they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We liked the light-colored face and dark lettering printed on the Platinum Series model we reviewed; it made for easy operation in dimly-lit rooms. The Model One's single, 3" driver is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. Tivoli adds that the speaker is enhanced by a "multi-stage frequency contouring circuit that adjusts the speaker's output over half-octave increments." The result, Tivoli claims, is "musically accurate tonal balance and bass response."
The back of the unit features a coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire. While the Model One also has an internal FM antenna, Tivoli recommends using the supplied external one for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of stations crammed together. There's a handy switch for switching between the internal and external antennae. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5mm auxiliary line in port for plugging in your iPod or other music device. If you want to use the Model One as a component tuner-- not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry-- Tivoli has provided a 3.5mm output port. The back panel also sports separate ports for AC and DC power, making the unit a great choice for boating or RV use.
Listening Pleasure
As with the Tivoli iPal portable speaker system, we were initially skeptical about the performance of a small, one-speaker unit that only offers monaural sound. The reality is that most small two-speaker systems don't allow you to place the speakers very far apart anyway, and the Model One's rich, resonant sound more than made up for its lack of true stereo separation. Plus, the Model One is a single, elegant box with no annoying speaker cords.
While the Model One isn't designed to provide earth-shattering sound at high volume, it produces surprising clarity and fullness at normal listening levels. When turned all the way up, the unit's rich sound persists and we suspect that Tivoli engineered the Model One's volume level to max out before any distortion arises. If you don't need a lot of volume, the Model One delivers. As with the iPal, we were left scratching our heads and wondering how such great sound could come from such a little box.
The Model One's tuning accuracy is also impressive; we were able to dial in stations we didn't even know existed. Tivoli says this is due to the unit's discrete-component FM tuner technology, which was originally developed for cellular telephones. Whatever Tivoli has done here, they did it right; closely-spaced stations are a breeze to tune.
Pros
- Compact form factor
- Excellent sound
- Supremely accurate tuning
Cons
- Not engineered to produce extremely high volume levels
Customer Reviews:
Excellent reception.......2007-12-06
I live in the shadow of the local mountaintop radio antennas and can rarely get good, reliable reception on your average dial or digitally tuned radio. The Tivolio Model One pulls in all my stations crystal clear and rock solid thanks to the fine adjustment on the dial knob. And the sound is great despite not being a full on stereo. I love my Model One.
Like My Old KLH.......2007-10-03
In the mid-60's I bought a little KLH component tuner that looks exactly like the Tivoli Audio One I recently purchased. I loved that little tuner, but it became a dinosaur when receivers came with radios built in. My new Tivoli replaces that little KLH and stands on its own. I bought the radio primarily to listen to NPR in my kitchen, so I don't need stereo. The sound quality is clear and crisp. Some reviewers complained of a hiss, but I don't find that. Of course I love the retro look of the radio and remembrance of days of yore. The style is simple, yet effective. I was lucky to find this model on a deep clearance at Target and bought it for less than half the going price. A great radio for a great price. I look forward to years of enjoyment from it.
If you own an iPod this radio is for you.......2007-08-16
This radio serves as an excellent iPod speaker. It is extremely simple, and the sound quality is terrific for the price. The FM reception involves, to borrow from Steely Dan, no static at all. I have two of these and highly recommend this product.
Feeling the love.......2007-08-14
Reception is great; the color blue with the cherrywood is sooo cool; the sound is amazing out of only the one speaker and my iPod sounds great. Happiness.
Tivoli Model One Tabletop Radio.......2007-07-03
In this time of increasing complexity it's a joy to purchase a product that does what it is intended to do, very simply, and very well.
Having purchased high end audio gear, the Tivoli One is a worthwhile replacement for someone interested in reducing clutter, and enjoying your music at a very fair price.
The Model One has a classic look that won't be out of place in any type of environment. Only drawback? should have bought two- as my wife loves using it. Maybe there's a Model Two in my future!!!
Product Description
Tivoli Audio Model 3 Clock Radio - Go shopping today for a clock radio and you'll mostly find big&bright digital displays, the sounds of nature, futuristic designs, and other modern amenities. Tivoli Audio however, takes a different path with the Model 3 Clock Radio. It has a purely analog interface for both the clock, and the AM/FM radio, as well as being designed with an old-fashioned feel. Right down to it's cherry wood cabinet. But while keeping a classic design, it does have modern features and superior audio technology inside. Sleek thumbwheel to set the alarm time Constant, gentle illumination External FM antenna&power supply included Operates on AC power Cherry Wood Finish Weight - 4.5lbs.
Amazon.com Review
For those who like to slumber in style, the Tivoli Model Three is the ultimate wake up call. With an understated cherry wood exterior, and large, easy-to-operate controls, the unit serves as a lesson in simplicity for other manufacturers who insist on making confusing, user-unfriendly clock radios. Although we had a few quibbles with some of the features, as well as the performance, of the Model Three, overall we recommend it is a wonderful bedside companion.
Design
The Model Three incorporates the audio and tuning technology of the Tivoli Model Two, while adding a quartz mechanical movement clock and alarm circuitry. Like other Tivoli radios, the Model Three is just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep-- about the size of a toaster turned on its side. It fits well on a desk, dresser, or nightstand.
The Model Three's single rotary dial handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that is a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob-- a 5 to 1 ratio, to be exact. This "ratio" dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios.
The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control and they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We did have one gripe about the Model Three's controls, though. Unlike the high-contrast labeling we found on the Platinum Series Model One radio, the Model Three's blue-grey lettering atop a taupe background is difficult to read, especially in low-light situations. We found ourselves struggling to see what station we were tuning and what functions we were selecting-- not something most desire on an alarm clock.
Fortunately, the Model Two's clock is easy to read and simple to set. A rotating bezel on the clock's face adjusts the wake time while a single button on the back rotates the clock forward. These methods allowed us to set the clock and wake times with good accuracy. There's also a sleep timer that shuts the radio off after 20 minutes, allowing you to fall asleep to tunes. We were a little puzzled by Tivoli's decision to power the clock by what we initially thought was simply a AA backup battery (the battery is housed in the rear of the unit). In fact, a battery must be used at all times to power the clock as it does not pull juice from the wall outlet. This means that the battery will need to be checked regularly to ensure accurate timekeeping. When the unit is powered by AC, users can wake to the radio. When the unit is unplugged, however, or if the power goes out, the Model Two will deliver a battery-powered beeping alarm.
A single, 3" driver is positioned on top of the unit and is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. A five-minute snooze button resides next to the speaker for those times when you just can't roll out of bed right away.
The Model Three shares the same back panel ports as the Model Two's, meaning it can serve as the base unit for a more robust Tivoli stereo system. A coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire is provided, although the Model Three also has an internal FM antenna. Tivoli recommends using the supplied external one for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of closely-spaced stations. There's a handy switch for switching between the internal and external antennae, as well. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5mm auxiliary line in port for plugging in the Tivoli component CD player, the Model CD. For the really techno-savvy, there's also a 3.5mm mixing input that permits audio from your computer to be mixed in with the radio.
Like the Model Two, the Model Three supports the addition of the Tivoli Companion Speaker for full stereo separation, as well as the Model Subwoofer for extended bass range. There's a small balance dial on the rear of the unit if you choose to add the companion speaker, as well as a mono/stereo switch. If you want to use the Model Three as a component tuner-- not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry-- Tivoli has provided a 3.5mm output port.
Listening Pleasure
As with the Tivoli iPal portable speaker system, we were initially skeptical about the performance of a small, one-speaker unit that only offers monaural sound. The reality is that most small two-speaker systems don't allow you to place the speakers very far apart anyway, and the Model Three's rich, resonant sound more than made up for its lack of true stereo separation. Plus, the Model Three is a single, elegant box with no annoying speaker cords. While the Model Three does sound better than the iPal, we did notice that the Model Three, quite mysteriously, does not sound quite as good as the venerable Model One. There is faint but noticeable hiss that is not present in the Model One, and we wondered if the Model One's designer, the late Henry Kloss, had less of a part to play in the Model Three's design.
Overall, though, we found the Model Three's sound impressive, especially coming from such a small unit. In most cases, it delivered rich, resonant sound. The Model Three's tuning felt less accurate than the Model One's but we were still able to dial in stations quickly and easily.
As for its function as an alarm clock, the Model Three was spot on. Not a single tester who relied on the unit was late to work!
Pros
- Simple, stylish construction
- Good sound and tuning accuracy
- Nice expansion options
Cons
- Clock cannot be powered by AC (battery only)
- Slight hiss when compared side by side with the Model One
- Tuner is slightly less accurate than the Model One's
Customer Reviews:
Concerned about the battery requirements?.......2007-12-05
I love my new tivoli. The clock is battery operated, which many reviews reported being a confusing addition to the design, however, if the power goes out, your alarm clock still works and the batteries only need to be changed once a year.
Not worth the price of admission. Why? Read on..........2007-11-08
I bought this item for it's clean design and great tuning section (their analog radios are way better than their digital models). My complaint is this: The jack where the ac adapter connects malfunctioned within a few weeks of purchasing this product. They sent me a replacement since it was under warranty. Now that the replacement is no longer in warranty the same malfunction has occured. Without power only the clock will work. You can't even change the time without the power adapter. Tivoli said they would repair or replace it for $75. I said no thanks. It seems as if these radios are calculated to break after not too long a time. It's unfortunate that a clock radio that sells for so much money, most would say they are over-priced, can't be constructed any better than this one is.
It's great, but...........2007-10-30
Th LED light is crazy bright. For a $200 unit, a dimmer or even on/off switch for the LED light would have been nice. I like it dark when I sleep, and the light in this unit is bright. Really bright, enough to light up the room.
The sound is awesome, great range from a tiny box. FM reception is good to excellent. I like the analog clock. It's a sold B+/A- all things considered.
Very excellent........2007-09-17
This is precisely what you would expect. Finely made, and of the best quality. Complaints about usability? Sure, one might pick nits, but no criticism of this product negates the reasons you'd buy it. It's handsomely designed, and performs far better than any clock radio you've ever seen. You will find yourself listening to it in lieu of your expensive fancy stereo. This is exceptional engineering and a truly fine product. You deserve this :)
Attractive Radio with Annoying Weakness.......2007-09-08
A vendor was selling the Tivoli Model Three for 66 dollars via Amazon so I could not resist. I'm glad I bought it but it has an annoyance: If I leave the room, the reception seems to drift a bit on AM or FM. I know this because the Model Three has a light that glows amber green when you've hit the reception "sweet spot." Often I'll re-enter the living room and the green is no longer glowing and I can hear static. If I'm reading nearby, this is no big deal. I assume this radio would benefit from a telescopic antenna instead of its piggy tail in the back. Having made this criticism, I love the look and sound of this radio. But if you're new to radios, start with the best radio for the money, the Sangean PR-D5, about $75-85. Unlike the Model Three, the PR-D5 has dual stereo speakers, telescopic FM antenna, internal 200 mm ferrite AM antenna, PLL synthesized tuning, and digital presets.

Polk Audio RTi6 High Performance Speakers.......2007-03-20
These are some of the "Richest"sounding speakers you will hear.Very full and smooth.Never mind the modest price,they compare extremely well with speakers costing twice the price.When set up correctly(Bi-amping,which is easy to do)they become almost transparent and present a 3-dimensional sound stage.Fit and finish(real Cherry Veneer)are a plus,something that is lacking on even higher priced speakers.Even my wife likes these.Believe me You won't be disapointed.
Polk RTi6 or JBL L830???.......2006-09-23
Well for your money I would get the polk. Today I went to a high end audio shop and tested the above mentioned. I got to tell you for a two way they had great mid range real nice and life like. The high end was vary natural sounding and the bass was there but not everywhere and vary responsive and crisp (just the way I like I). Low treble, high treble, low bass, high bass they still sounded good (thou with all treble taking out they got a bit muddy, witch would be good for TV actually). High and low volumes still give the same sound, I did notice a lot of the bass left around listening volume, but a little bump on the bass brought it right back up. The JBL sounded exactly the same, only that the vocals and higher mids where more pronounced and "I-sword-I-was-there-ness". They didn't get mudy with all the treble taking out and incredibly crisp with the treble up (they sounded better in other words). The polk would make decent front speakers for a good sized TV but I think they would be a bit much for anything under 27 inch or so...
Considering the L830's are twice as much I'd get the Polk if you have listened to the JBLL830 but not the Polk, about all you would lose would be a stronger mid range and life like ness. Also the store was running them 10% and about this price so this is about as low a price that you will find for new ones.
P.S. That IS real cherry veneer.

Awesome.......2007-12-25
Absolutely beautiful, decorative, great sound, and can listen to old records, tapes. REmote works great, too.
Just bought another for my friends.
pretty but doesn't work.......2007-11-27
It is an attractive piece of furniture but the cd part didn't work. Soo Amazon replaced it with another one. That one didn't work either for the same reason. Amazon said they would return my money but when I considered that the radio and the turntable and the audio tape worked ok, for $200.00 and it looked good, perhaps I was expecting too much. Therefore I kept it even though it doesn't completely work.
Loved it With Reservations..........2007-10-31
I liked this product however please be aware that the sound quality isn't remotely as good as a modern stereo or home theatre system especially in the volume and bass department. I choose to hook up a couple of quality speakers to my unit which was easy and I really enjoy it now. However others might not feel that way. The actual unit is beautiful and very easy to use. I am happy with my purchase however please be warned that the sound quality/speakers it comes with are not that great.

Good for the small apartment budding audiophile.......2007-12-13
I've been using a pair of these as my main sound system, driven from my computer and a Sonic Impact Super T-Amp, alternatively a turntable, and I'm very satisfied with the sound of this system. The sound is exceptionally clean; I didn't notice the muddy sound I had been living with until I tried these out. The clarity of listening to a clean vinyl record played through this system is remarkable, and sound output from the computer is very good as well, though noticeably less clean.
Sonically, this setup doesn't punch with much bass, but there's enough power otherwise to make the experience, especially when sitting at the computer (a subwoofer could probably be added easily enough). The level of detail you start to hear is astounding, though you'll start to dislike low-bitrate digital audio very quickly.
At any rate, this is a fine way to turn a computer into your main music center in a small space: a simple, inexpensive amplifier, and a pair of high-efficiency bookshelf speakers.
Great speaker for the price!.......2007-04-23
I purchased a set of Polk RTi4 to use with a Sonos ZP100 in my family room. I was looking for a speaker that would not be too large but still provide clean, accurate sound. So far I have been very impressed with the speakers, especially considering the sub-$300 price!
The RTi4 has handled everything I have thrown at them, rock, R&B, country, classical, etc. They only fall short on the very deepest notes. If you are a big rap fan (not me) or are using them in a home theater setting then I strongly recommend adding a subwoofer. However, if you aren't that concerned about really "feeling the bass" then you will probably be very satisfied with these speakers.
Nice speakers, nice price!.......2006-02-04
I put these together with a Harman Kardon HK 3480 receiver and got crisp sound quality with surprisingly punchy bass. I am going to add a Yamaha 8" subwoofer to give me a little extra oomph for rap music and movie sound effects, but that is more of an indulgence than a necessity. The wall mount brackets on the back made wall installation super easy as well. I am very pleased with these speakers, very good sound for the price.
Great sound in a small package.......2005-12-07
We just bought these speakers to replace a pair of ancient B&O S45s which had finally bought the farm. We went to Sound Advice and listened to 4 different speakers and found that the RTi4s had both the clearest sound and the best midrange differentiation of all 4 speakers in our price range. A bit weak on the bass side, but for $220 including tax, well worth the price

Model Two adds a matching companion speaker that can be placed up to 15-feet away from the main unit, providing stereo separation and detailed soundstage one piece "stereo" units lack. The FM stereo tuner and amplifier so highly praised in the Model One Radio have been completely redesigned and refitted in an attractive metallic taupe / champagne with cherry wood cabinet. Built-in AM/FM antenna plus external 75 Ohm FM antenna connector (includes wire whip antenna) Speakers video shielded Stereo headphone output Stereo Record output Dimensions - 4.5H x 8.375W x 5.25D; weighs five pounds
Amazon.com Product Description
The Tivoli Henry Kloss Model Two Radio with companion speaker, the Tivoli Model Subwoofer and the Tivoli Model CD are designed to be used together as part of a complete compact stereo system but are sold separately from each other.
All the elements of the component system have classic styling that makes Tivoli products so distinctive. Simplicity and elegance are engineered into all three components and, for the most part, we came away impressed with what this little system could do in terms of sound quality, as well as its ease of use. It's worth noting here that all three components sport separate ports for AC and DC power, making them a great choice for boating or RV use.
Henry Kloss Model Two
The Model Two serves as the base unit for the Tivoli component system. It is very similar to the Model Three clock radio, without the alarm clock section. Like other Tivoli radios, the Model Two is just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep--about the size of a toaster turned on its side. The unit also ships with a companion speaker which, unlike the monaural Henry Kloss Model One, gives the system full stereo separation.
The Tivoli Model Two with companion speaker. |
The Model Two has a single rotary dial that handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that's a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob--a five-to-one ratio, to be exact. This ratio dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios. The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control, and they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We did have one gripe about the Model Two controls, though--the same gripe we had about the Model Three. Unlike the high-contrast labeling we found on the Platinum Series Model One radio, the Model Two's blue-gray lettering atop a taupe background is difficult to read, especially in low-light situations.
The Model Two's 3-inch driver is housed next to the tuning dial and is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. The companion speaker contains the same driver in a form factor that is the same size and construction as the Model Two's main unit. A 15-foot RCA speaker cord attached to the companion speaker allows you to set the speakers well apart in a room--great for getting optimal stereo separation. There's a small balance dial on the rear of the main unit as well as a mono-stereo switch.
A coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire is provided, although the Model Two also has an internal FM antenna. Tivoli recommends using the supplied external antenna for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of closely spaced stations. There's a handy switch for alternating between the internal and external antennae, as well. A standard 3.5-millimeter headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5-millimeter auxiliary line-in port for plugging in the Model CD. For the really techno-savvy, there's also a 3.5-millimeter mixing input that permits audio from your computer to be mixed in with the radio. A preamp-out jack is provided for the Model Subwoofer, and if you want to use the Model Two as a component tuner--not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry--Tivoli has provided a 3.5-millimeter output port.
The Subwoofer adds rich bass to the Model Two. |
Model Subwoofer
At 6.5 inches high, 9.5 inches wide, and 6.1 inches deep, the Model Subwoofer is a bit larger than the other components in the Tivoli component system. While a 5.25-inch bass driver dominates the front of the unit, there's also a deep front port for added bass response. A bass-level dial lets you decide how much of the low end you want to hear. The on-off switch has a sensor that automatically activates the subwoofer when a signal is detected. With 20 watts of power, the Model Subwoofer is an impressive little box with the capability of dramatically extending the fullness and richness of the Model Two sound.
Model CD
With its cherry wood casing, Tivoli's component CD player matches the Model Two perfectly while offering equally simple operation. We really liked the elegant slot-loading mechanism; it felt solid and reliable. Basic functions like play, stop, and track selection can be controlled on the unit. There's also a tiny little remote that adds shuffle, direct track selection, repeat, and intro-scanning functions. True to form, the remote is simple and easy to use. The Model CD's display is bright and crisp with the look of a high-end audiophile-class component. We played a number of CDs, including CD-R discs with nary a hitch. Tivoli says that the Model CD will not play CD-RW discs, however.
The Tivoli CD is elegant and capable. |
A 3.5-millimeter headset jack is provided on the back of the unit, as are RCA outputs and an AC power port that connects to a supplied brick-style AC adapter. The unit is also capable of running on DC power.
All Together Now
Setting up the component system was fairly straightforward. All of the inputs and outputs are clearly marked, and each component ships with everything you need to make the right connections. Although it might be too much to ask for, it would be great if the Model Two main unit had an AC power input for plugging in at least one of the components. This is admittedly a minor quibble, and it might not be feasible in such a small device.
Just like our experiences with other Tivoli products, sound was impressive--full of clear highs and mids and rich, room-filling lows. The Model Two tuning feature felt less accurate than the Model One, but we still were able to dial in stations quickly and easily. Overall, we recommend the Model Two as a high-quality mini-component system, because systems this size rarely sound this good. Even without the subwoofer engaged, the sound was rich and resonant. As soon as we plugged in the subwoofer, though, we were transported to near sonic bliss. It's a must-have accessory for the Model Two.--Joshua Gunn
Pros
- Simple, stylish construction on all the component parts
- Great sound from such a compact system; good tuning accuracy
- Subwoofer option adds exceptional dynamic range
Cons
- Tuner is slightly less accurate than the Model One

Small package, BIG punch.......2007-11-06
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2R53UC4JWIVBZ Surprisingly strong audio out of this small package. Great for a small room or computer set up. Listen to the audio quality in my video review.
Tivoli Value.......2007-09-16
First, I am already a Tivoli fan. I have Model One units in my office, kitchen and master bathroom. Recently I purchased the Model 2 and the subwoofer to compliment my 32" Sharp LCD TV. The 32" LCD is the family TV set up in my living room. If you are like me and my family, we do not listen to regular programs, sports and movies at "movie theater" volume, but we were looking for something stronger than the tv speakers. The Model 2 with subwoofer is a great solution. The system looks good in our living room. The Model 2 is easy to use for eveyone in the family. The sound is full, warm and much louder than we will ever need. For under $300.00 dollars we have a very impressive little system that has suprised some hard core home theater brother in laws.
Fantastic Product!.......2007-06-12
I was amazingly surprised at the sound quality this unit produces. I purchased this for our formal living area for both it's looks and sound and both are quality. Because of the speaker size these speakers are quite punchy while not losing the high end of the spectrum either. All in all they make for a great setup.
a few flaws but still the best STEREO table radio available.......2007-04-22
I'm a big fan of Tivoli products as I own several and specifically two of the Model 2 under review. As anyone who has seen these know they are finely crafted with attractive real wood cabinets and solid chassis. They offer simple analog controls with accurate tuning and excellent room filling sound. They are not to be compared to an audiophile set of componets however as neither the size of the speakers nor amplifier output is capable of the requisite dynamic impact....they are just what they're purported to be, high end table radios and to that end they really have no peer.
The two criticisms that are valid; that the tuner section is "slightly" less sensitive than the Model 1 and that the AM section is weak with regard to station pull are justifiable, however I don't know of another table radio that does a better job at either. To compare the tuner section of the Model 2 to the Model 1 is a bit disengenous anyway since the Model 1 is a mono design and has a significantly easier job than does a stereo tuner. The AM reception is a thornier issue and my advice would be to just consider this a very nice high end FM stereo radio. If your needs are to listen to talk radio and ball games (typical AM fare) then you'd probably be better served with a $29 Sony.
Great for Office, As iPod Speaker.......2007-04-14
Excellent radio, very capable external speakers for my iPod. Without repeating the same comments made by others, let me focus on two particulars.
First: Suitability for the Office. I used my Model Two at my office for the past year. It looks really nice on a desk, without adding to the visual clutter that tends to build up. Importantly, it has great FM reception even on the 51st floor of my building, which is tall enough to crowd the dial with weak stations and which is surrounded by other tall buildings generating multipath reflections for the strong signals. The Model Two sounds very good even at low volume, which of course is often mandatory at work.
Second: Suitability as iPod Speaker. I recently took my Model Two home to compare how good it sounds compared to the Apple M9867LL/A iPod Hi-Fi Home Stereo I've been using to play digital music (streamed using my Airport Express). The Apple Hi Fi is a different product, but comparisons are nonetheless useful:
Features Favoring the Apple Hi Fi:
(a) The Hi Fi has much punchier bass than the Model Two without subwoofer.
(b) The Hi Fi has an optical in.
(c) The Hi Fi has a remote volume control.
(d) The Hi Fi has a built-in iPod dock.
(e) The Hi Fi is at least nominally portable, with a battery compartment.
Features Favoring the Model Two:
(a) The Model Two looks better and less intrusive in our traditional living room.
(c) The Model Two has vastly better stereo separation.
(d) The Model Two has better midrange detail.
(e) The Model Two has a wider effective listening area in the room. The Hi Fi has a very narrow soundstage, and if you step out of that area the sound quality suffers.
(f) The Model Two has a good radio built-in.
Bottom line: Playing back from an iPod or using Airtunes, I prefer the sound coming out of the Model Two over that of the Apple Hi Fi.
