Tivoli Audio Music System

The Tivoli Audio Music System is a high-end tabletop radio and CD player that puts aesthetics at the top of its priority list. Coming in at $600 - $700, this radio is marketed towards those putting at least as much importance on the way their stereo looks as it sounds.

It comes in a beautiful hand-lacquered finish in your choice of piano black /w silver, piano white /w silver, or walnut /w beige.

The Tivoli Audio Music System takes a minimalist approach; it comes included with a slot-loading CD player, AM/FM radio, alarm clock /w dual alarms, and an auxiliary line-in for connecting other inputs sources like your iPod. At its price-point, many expected features were left out; there is no HD radio, satellite radio, iPod dock, network streaming, or DVD playback.

It's sound quality is good, but far from being up-to-snuff for hardcore audiophiles. With all of it's downfalls, it may seem unlikely to find a place in the market, but on occasion it has been very well received. It competes with the popular Bose tabletop radios.
