Tivoli M1BLU Henry Kloss Model One Table Radio

Superb Sounding

Where performance and simplicity are paramount but space is sparse, the Model One Table Radio from Tivoli Audio is a perfect fit. With just three knobs, it's the antithesis of today's increasingly complex electronic products. But, behind the simple appearance of the Model One, encased within the elegant enclosure is a storehouse of advanced technology that enables higher fidelity sound reproduction and better radio reception than anything else anywhere near the size and cost of the Model One. The furniture-grade, handmade wood cabinet is not just for appearance sake (although it does make an impressive visual statement). The audio benefit of the classy enclosure is that it provides an acoustically inert environment that contributes greatly to the superior sound reproduction. A heavy-magnet, long-throw 3" driver is allied to a multi-stage frequency contouring circuit that adjusts the speaker's output over half-octave increments. The result is musically accurate tonal balance and bass response. It's easy to see and hear why Henry Kloss himself called his Model One Radio "the culmination of more than forty years of bringing music into people's homes via products they tend to keep and enjoy." You'll certainly want to keep and enjoy your Tivoli Model One Radio for many years to come.

Remarkable Reception

Instead of a standard, off the shelf integrated circuit, the Model One uses a state of the art, discrete-component FM tuner featuring GaAs MES-FET mixers. This technology was originally developed for cellular phones but Henry Kloss realized the benefits it held for FM radio reception and made the Model One the first radio to adopt this technology. The result is vastly improved reception and increased clarity on closely spaced stations. You enjoy stronger and much clearer reception from your favorite stations and with the superior tuner, you may find stations you never knew were there. Tuning in your favorites, both old and new, is a pleasure using the large analog tuning knob with its geared down 5:1 tuning ratio that provides easy and accurate tuning while the amber tuning indicator lets you know when you've achieved proper tuning. Built-in AM and FM antennas provide satisfying reception, while a rear 75 ohm jack allows connection of an external FM antenna for difficult reception areas. Tivoli's Model One Radio sounds and looks great in offices, dens, bedrooms, kitchens, RVs, boats, anywhere you want to really enjoy radio.

Ingeniously Simple

Sometimes you just want something nice to listen to and don't want to have to perform complex calculations and contortions just to turn on the radio. The simplicity of the Model One radio is simply elegant. Large, easy to read dial and large, easy to grip knobs make tuning and adjusting your radio simple and precise at the same time. An auxiliary input is provided to connect a CD player or other sound source and a record output that enables you to connect a recording device like a CD recorder or tape deck, or use your Model One radio as a high quality outboard tuner. A built-in headphone jack enables you to enjoy private listening when you want. The quality, performance and elegant simplicity of the Model One are reminiscent of a time when radio was the centerpiece of home entertainment and radios were built as fine furniture rather than just boxes that produce noise. Tivoli's Model One is more than a high performance radio. It's a work of art destined to become an heirloom.

My initial impression of the Tivoli radio was one of surprise because it has a reputation indicating that it surpases the competition in value and performance, but its so simple. My trust in Vanns to only offer the best products gave me the courage to actually purchase one and I love it! A small simple box with big sound and crisp clear reception. Better overall sound and reception than the Bose radio on my office associates desk and it came with Vanns usual great price.

The Tivoli Model One is a grand little table radio. It sounds great and is capable of pulling in those stations that are a bit fuzzy on my large home stereo system. In fact, I prefer it to my house stereo when listening to the radio because of the rich warm sound it projects that fills the entire room. I even connected the Model One to my portable cd player and was very pleased with the overall sound quality.

All in all it's a great radio for the price! I am very pleased with it and highly recommend it!

I love this radio. The sound is superb, the cabinet is classy, and you can easily tune in those 'in-between' stations without being a slave to digital preprogramming. At first it seemed crazy to pay this much for a radio, but now I wonder why I put myself through all those years without wonderful acoustics. Just bought one for a nephew's graduation - he'll enjoy cranking it up!

Vann's has amazing customer service and I really appreciated the free shipping.

We needed a replacement for the tinny sounding clock radio we used in our kitchen. After seeing only ads and reviews for the Tivoli I swallowed hard and ordered one. When I told my wife what I had done her only response was 'the look'. I was worried now and hoped I hadn't made a mistake. When the radio arrived we opened it together, plugged it in, listened and I can tell you her response was very positive and benificial. We love the little music box and it's big sound. The only negative we could find is the station numbers on the dial are a little hard to see in dim light. We also have a Bose Acoustic Wave radio in our bedroom and she commented on the price difference for the same sound quality. I did good. Thank you Vanns also for your great service, we're both very happy with our purchase and are planning on ordering another for our daughter.
