Back in 2000 we wanted a table radio for our dining nook, and another for our father's shop. We bought a Boston Acoustics for our home and a Tivoli Audio for our father. We were ecstatic about our Boston Acoustics sound quality and digital tuning, but we also really admired the Tivoli's sound and beautiful design. Over the years we thoroughly enjoyed the sound and service of our radio, while our father used his to listen to "talk radio," which I thought didn't allow the Tivoli to "do its thing!" Well after 20 years our Boston Acoustics began to sound terrible (I think a number of the capacitors went bad with age), so we decided to replace it. Table radios seemed to have fallen out of favor, so the choices were quite limited. I thought it would be great if we could stumble upon one of those finds where some store had lost track of an original Boston Acoustics radio, new-in-the-box, and just found it and decided to clear it out. After a long search that came up empty we didn't have any luck, for a Boston Acoustics that is, but we did find a brand new, in-the-box, Tivoli Model One! I immediately bought it and waited excitedly for it to arrive. It came on schedule and was exactly as described, new and untouched. Hurriedly, we set it up and turned it on. The wonderful, full and rich sound that we remembered from Dad's radio poured from the amazing, small speaker. Tivoli Audio designed an excellent radio with the Model One and it sounds simply great. It doesn't have the digital tuning and digital readout of the Boston Acoustics, but that doesn't matter. In fact, the Model one is absolutely beautiful with its real walnut wood case, dark brown tuning and control knobs on a soft-almond colored background. Even the 2 lights (one green and one yellow, to show power on and station strength) are perfect among the rest of the design choices. We have an excellent stereo set up in our living room, which really does sound wonderful in its own right, but on a daily basis the Tivoli Model One is the one the plays our music all day, every day!Read full review

Sound quality of this little radio is better than one would expect. Strong on the low end, a bit lacking in the upper ranges. FM reception is very good which cannot be said for AM reception. I live in a suburban area with several strong AM stations. My unit receives none of them, at least not with the internal AM antenna, if one actually exists. An external AM antenna, I estimate, is mandatory or at least strongly recommended.

Ordering a refurbished model you expect something to show it was previously handled. Not this unit, every indication is that it is new. The unit was purchased for our bathroom. The day it arrived I played a trick on my wife and placed it in the living room next to the center channel speaker. We have a high end stereo system so the the comparison is significant. I covered the LEDs on the Tivoli with electrical tape so she wouldn't notice it. When she returned from shopping, she passed through the living room and when I told her it was the Tivoli, she didn't believe me. She thought it was the stereo playing Christmas music. Needless to say the unit's sound is impressive. What I like: Reception, size, feel of the tuner, long cord, reception, overall sound quality What I don't like: slight coloration in the mid-range. Overall: Love this radio. Would I purchase it again, absolutely.Read full review

Simple, good sounding, well designed, and with a remanufactured unit that gains the original equipment warranty, this was a solid buy! The tuner is very, very well designed as it enables a user to fine tune even distance stations. The included external antenna helps too, but the internal antenna does a remarkable job on its own. The speaker is a skosh on the bassy side [I prefer a flatter response], but all in all a good entertainment value!
