This is a great little radio - sound is amazing for the size, and picks up even weak stations with NO static. I am impressed every time I turn it on.

I wanted a small radio that would pick up a weak station we like to listen to - was initially put off by the price and lack of bells and whistles - but performance of this radio blows the socks off all the "fancy" radio/CD combos I looked at.

The Tivoli is a vast improvement even over Henry Kloss's earlier designs. Its ability to isolate and tune a station cleanly makes the dial as easy to use as digital buttons--just get close and you have your station. This works even on very weak stations, such as FM micro-transmitters used to re-transmit audio from the internet.

Inclusion of a 20-hour battery is brilliant. Plug it in overnight, and you can carry it with you all day and play it as much as you like, never worrying about batteries. Fits in a briefcase, goes outside as well as inside.

The sound is outstanding, better than most powered speakers. In fact, the Tivoli makes a great powered speaker to use with a computer--just plug it into the earphone jack on the laptop or PC. You can plug your earphones into the Tivoli, and listen either to audio from the PC or live radio.

Works internationally, too. I've used these for several months in California and also in London UK, equally good in both locations.

I've owned a Tivoli PAL radio now for several months -- it is most amazing. Not only is the sound incredible and clear, but from this small box, you *think* you're hearing stereo, as well as a wonderful bass with good highs and mids.
You can hook up a portable CD player or MD to the mini-plug in back and get wonderful sound as well. The analogue dial pulls in radio stations really well, and the antenna makes it work even in the trouble spot I live in.
Based on this model, I purchased other Tivoli products and they all are stupendous. I cannot say enough good abou these audio products!

I CANT BELIEVE HOW WELL AND REAL THIS SMALL BOX SOUNDS. EVEN IN OPEN SPACES LIKE PORCHES AND TERRACES. THE FM RECEPTION IS OUTSTANDING. THIS IS THE BEST RADIO I HAVE EVER HEARD BY FAR (YES, INCLUDING THE BOSE WAVE RADIO).

This is my second experience with Tivoli product. First one, SoundBook I returned back to seller because reception was not good on FM in my area. Too much noice. With this small PAL radio, it completely different story. Manual, very sensitive tuner allow you to lock station easily. Great looking radio with different colors. Very deep bass from tiny speakers. Great product - not cheap for radio, but worth it.

I have owned two PAL radios for a year and I am about to buy two more as gifts. The sound is incredible for the size, the battery life is long, the tuning sensitivity and rejection of adjacent stations is terrific. I carry one around the house as I do work and we bring one when we travel.

It is perfect...it was for an elderly gentleman who can just listen to it right by his chair. Simple functions and good sound make it the ideal radio for him. The recharging is simple and there are no batteries to replace all the time. I looked a long time for a radio like this.
