Unbelievable Sound In Such A Small Unit March 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just received the Henry Kloss Tivoli System, and I'm in love! The sound on this tiny system is superb. The highs are extremely clear with virtually no distortion, and the bass is adequate enough for me, without the added woofer. I set this up in about 5 minutes and was listening to FM radio that was as clear as I've ever heard it. Of course, I have it hooked up to my old HD TV antenna, which certainly helps pull the stations in. My CD's sound great - much better than on my old system, which consisted of a Kenwood tuner/amp and Infinity speakers. Anyone want to buy a pair of high-end Infinity speakers cheap? I would recommend this system to anyone over the Bose - I don't think there's any comparison.

Was very happy with the vendor. Box was packaged really well and secure.
Am a little disappointed with the sound of the system. It's not nearly as full as I had hoped. The bass is deficient and I think the subwoofer add-on would probably help. I'm thinking about buying one, but that's just one more thing to buy to make it sound better.

We love this product--almost got the Bose system until we read customer reviews & consumer reports & glad now we made this choice--great value, sound, style---can't say enough - we highly recommend this Tivoli Audio Radio/Combo CD/AM/FM Stereo System.
Tivoli's best package July 17, 2007

I was stunned by the difference it made to add the satellite speaker to the Tivoli Model One, confirming the findings of Consumer Reports, which rated the Model One plus satellite speaker the best sound quality of the high end radios tested. Moreover, it's a compact unit with full-frequencied sound at both loud and low volume levels. The iPal, on the other hand, is an overpriced novelty, putting out appealing sound until the gain is advanced beyond the mid-point, at which point distortion is unacceptable. Don't even consider the Tivoli sub-woofer. This unit already has ample bass (sometimes too much); if anything, I wouldn't mind having a treble control to bring out ride cymbals a bit more, though on the whole Tivoli's engineers have done a nice job of balancing frequencies.
If you're serious about sound, and especially stereo separation, you won't want to use this as a bedside clock radio (though the separation is effective even when listening to it in bed with a speaker on each night-stand). Moreover, as some consumer reviews indicate, the clock radio mechanism is very basic. For two hundred more you can get Tivoli's top unit, combining stereo with clock radio and CD player, but you're sacrificing stereo separation, since both speakers are mounted in a single, comparatively small cabinet.
The CD player is a quality unit for those who don't load up discs willy nilly in changers, inviting jamming. Moreover, unlike most portable disc players that I tried, this one doesn't slip, stick, or quickly wear out. It will occasionally balk at discs it doesn't like, and at first I thought I had another irritating jam problem and repair bill on my hands. Simply unplug the power cord for a few seconds, replug, and it will regurgitate the disc.
The price isn't necessarily the smallest, but the unit is, even with all three pieces. Simply put, you won't find a bigger, more satisfying sound anywhere in a more compact system, and face it: even if you're not a wood connoisseur, it looks classy.
