scotbuck Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Greetings, Recently I found an alternative to the somewhat expensive Bose "Wave System" radio. It's the "Model One" radio from Tivoli Audio. Tivoli is, I believe, the last work of the late Henry Kloss (Acoustic Research, KLF, Advent, Cambridge). The line of radios are quite small, have lovely real walnut cases, appear to be build like a tank, and sound surprisingly good. (I've got mine at the office.) Granted, it can't compare with my vintage Grundig 2260 "toob" radio (didn't cost as much either), but I think that for $99.99 plus shipping ... it ain't half bad! If you're thinking about getting a little radio for home or office, you can check 'em out at: http://www.tivoliaudio.com/home.php Hope this is helpful... Take care, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care, Scott ---------------- Scott, thanks for the post. I was actually looking for a table top radio for my office (snow season is coming). This looks like a nice option at a decent price point (for office grade). I actually spoke with Henry Kloss in the 1999 (I believe) when he called me about building a remote control for the Cambridge (Wave Radio-killer) table top radio that he was designing. He joked that his wife was pressuring him to retire and enjoy life, but working was what he really enjoyed doing. He had a prolific career, and he was a really nice guy to boot. Not full of himself at all. OTOH, I called on Bose for years and never had the chance to meet Dr. Bose. He was either teaching or at his home in HI.

Bruinsrme Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I have a bose wave radio and it sounds pretty good. But at the price point there are altenatives that are equal, IMO and cost less than half of the Bose. Cambridge Sound comes to mind. When they have their factory sales, the price make you want to buy more than 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
