Tivoli Audio Model Two

Luxury table radio

Pros
  • Rich, full sound
  • Compact design
  • Second speaker for stereo
Cons
  • No remote control or digital tuning

If you want a table radio with excellent sound quality but have no use for a CD player, iPod dock or other frills, reviewers say the Tivoli Audio Model Two is a superb choice. It comes with a separate stereo speaker that can be placed up to 15 feet away from the base to create true stereo separation, and reviewers are amazed at its compact size and rich, full sound. However, the Model Two has no iPod dock, satellite radio or HD radio compatibility, not even digital tuning or a clock. If your budget is smaller, the Sangean WR-2 Digital AM/FM Radio (*Est. $120) is a classic table radio with great sound and up-to-date touches like digital tuning.

We found glowing reviews of the Tivoli Audio Model Two at Geek.com and EnjoyTheMusic.com, although they're rather dated since the radio has been out for some time. A number of owners post more current feedback at Amazon.com.
