If you mean the Tivoli One, it's a major disappointment.
It's a shame it was the last product Henry Kloss designed.
Hardly worthy of his reputation.

Could you elaborate on why you were disappointed
in the Model One?


Yes.

The sound is decidedly "small." It's not boxy or colored, just very "cramped."
It's also overly "liquid" and lacking in detail.

The bass is fat and muddy. (And this from one of AR's founders!) Blocking the
port in the bottom helps.

It won't play very loud. As you turn up the volume, it sounds like compression
has been applied to the sound.

It simply doesn't come close to the 8 or 21.


If all you want is a compact, decent-sounding mono table radio for listening to
talk shows, it's okay. But if you want stereo, and fairly good sound, listen to
the various "executive stereos" available for around $200. Not only do they
often have much-better sound (and not just because they're stereo), but they
include a CD player.
