Tivoli AudioModel One Bluetooth AM/FM Radio (Walnut/Beige)

Solucionado

It is small, compact and has a pretty good sound. Got rid of the bulky sterio system & speakers and the radio sits neatly in the corner. Has it's own speakers and that's all we need.

What my wife really wanted was "a little radio to listen to NPR in the kitchen." It does exactly that, it does it PERFECTLY, and I don't know of any other product that would do it as well.We considered a "smart speaker" but didn't like a) dependence on WiFi and internet, b) privacy concerns, or c) occasionally erratic interpretation of voice commands we've experienced with Siri etc. on other devices.This was our second try because originally neither of us wanted to pay that much money, so a few years ago I bought an offbrand radio for $40 at T. J. Maxx... and it was ugly, it was weird, it didn't feel like "quality," and you sometimes had to jiggle the DC-in power cord and a switch next to it to get it to work. And it finally broke.The Bluetooth is iffy, as most Bluetooth devices without touchscreen controls are. I mostly got it on a whim--it doesn't complicate things much, it just adds _one_ position to a selector switch. It happens that it does work with the Bluetooth audio transmitter I connected to our TV set, so it lets my wife do another thing she wanted--listen to the audio of the TV news when she is in the kitchen.We get good FM reception for the stations we want, and this radio is completely solid, picks them up easily, looks like it probably has AFC but in any case it doesn't drift.The sound quality is what you'd have described decades ago as "a good table radio with a nice clear tone" for both speech and music. It isn't anything for an audiophile.If you think what you want is a good, simple, high-quality table radio, this is it.

I was a bit skeptic in buying american made Tivoli, affraid that this branh was all design. But Tivoli offers nice sound (could be louder) and nice connectivity with bluetooth.Great design. Nicely wrapped, very professional.

Absolutely excellent quality. All the knobs and dials work as if they were crafted back when excellence in products was actually a thing, before everything went to plastic and reduced quality and scheduled obsolescence. The entire radio is crafted with care. I recommend this product 100%.
