Tivoli Audio Model Three AM/FM Clock Radio, Cherry/Metallic Taupe Review

Let's get one thing out of the way right now: This is not the best buy in clock radios. The feature set and price do not match up.

Having said that, I just did not like the sound of the others that I listened to. I did not want to pay anything at all for a clock radio that did not sound good. Therefore I went with the Model 3.

I also bought the stereo speaker and the subwoofer, which makes this system near hi-fi, but even worsens the price/value ratio.

The system is compact (the small sub fits under my nightstand and the two speakers go on top of the two nightstands) and fills our guest room with sound without strain. Guests who care about such things are very pleased. The sound does not go down as far as one would expect of a unit with a sub, but where it does go it is very smooth and natural.

Yeah, it's odd that the clock is battery powered, and it would be nice to have an iPod dock (there is an input in the back that will accept output from a CD player/iPod/etc.) but this unit was designed for sound, period.

I'm very happy with it.
