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

- Best Radio Ever
This is a classy, high quality piece of audio equipment with amazing sound and an unobtrusive footprint. There is absolutely no frills between your ear and the airwaves. This unit's refreshing simplicity leaves you free to re-live the days of early radio, and find new joy as you and your family gather around to tune in to your favorite stations.
And it's so darn small and handsome!

- What's all the hoopla about?
I'd heard many positive reviews for these radios, and figured that plus the astronomical price must mean it's got something going for it. Wrong. Other than the heavy wood cabinet, this is a run of the mill table radio. The reception is no better than any other radio, including the FM tuner in my cell phone - even with an external antenna. The sound is OK but nothing to rave about. I've had 30 year old Sony table radios that sounded just as good or better. A close look at the componentry reveals this ... Read More

- lacking just a little...
I like the sound the radio produces very much. I only use it to listen to the Red Sox. I find 2 things a little disappointing. Although the tuning dial has a ratio that gives you some extra turning to tune in the right spot, the exact station location is easy to tune past (for the broadcast I am looking for) and the little yellow light doesn't have much leeway with respect to brightness. The antenna must be positioned just so for any of this to happen. I do not know whether an FM antenna would fix this ... Read More

- Good Radio, Just one small issue.
This is a great radio the only issue I have with it is that the FM reception should be stronger. Not that it is bad. The FM reception is good but for the money I paid for this product I should get great FM reception. On some radio stations I have to turn the radio a certain direction to get good reception, also when I walk around the room depending on where I'm standing I get interference on some stations.

As a whole though this is a great radio. On the scale of 0 to 10, 10 being best, ... Read More

- Good radio if you know what you want
I purchased this radio about 2 years ago and I thought I would write a short review for you potential buyers. First, let me tell you what this radio is and is not. This radio is a "handsome" well built radio that will pick up FM stations pretty well. I would recommend getting a cheap FM antenna because it has a place on the back of the radio for an extra FM antenna. If you are wanting this radio to listen to talk radio or AM stations, do not purchase this. Though it picks up FM stations well, it is not made ... Read More
