EXCELLENT!!.......2007-12-26
My son got this for Christmas and my Daughter got an Ipod. The Walkman is SO much easier to use! Very user friendly, has FAR MORE features than the ipod and you don't have to deal with the "i" software or syncing thru apple. This player works fabulous with Windows Media Player. It's fast and so easy to upload, select, sync...everything you need to do in no time flat! The iPod is confusing, the buttons are strange and not very user friendly. I wish I had bought one of these for my daughter and not wasted my money on a iPod! This is a FABULOUS player for songs, video, pics...EVERYTHING! Very Easy to navigate!! I LOVE IT and my son is THRILLED!!!
Great!.......2007-12-25
Congratulations to Sony. This amazingly compact device works perfect right out of the box. Loading MP3s and WMA files was simple. The sound quality is excellent. Well worth the price
Don't be fooled by low price, they soak you for the add ons!.......2007-12-13
Don be fooled by the low price, the docking station and cradles are limited, and very expensive. They get you in the door and then soak you for the extras... Ipod looks like better deal when you price it out...
I love this player, but..........2007-12-12
its great in every way except that there are not many accessories for it. no armband holder, no speaker docs or much else. maybe that'll change but its easy to use and sounds awesome.
Excelente!!!.......2007-11-23
Es un articulo excelente, respaldado por la incomparable calidad Sony, el sonido es genial asi como la resolución de video y la capacidad, 100% recomendado.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Tivoli Henry Kloss Model Two Radio with companion speaker, the Tivoli Model Subwoofer and the Tivoli Model CD are designed to be used together as part of a complete compact stereo system but are sold separately from each other.
All the elements of the component system have classic styling that makes Tivoli products so distinctive. Simplicity and elegance are engineered into all three components and, for the most part, we came away impressed with what this little system could do in terms of sound quality, as well as its ease of use. It's worth noting here that all three components sport separate ports for AC and DC power, making them a great choice for boating or RV use.
Henry Kloss Model Two
The Model Two serves as the base unit for the Tivoli component system. It is very similar to the Model Three clock radio, without the alarm clock section. Like other Tivoli radios, the Model Two is just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep--about the size of a toaster turned on its side. The unit also ships with a companion speaker which, unlike the monaural Henry Kloss Model One, gives the system full stereo separation.
The Tivoli Model Two with companion speaker. |
The Model Two has a single rotary dial that handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that's a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob--a five-to-one ratio, to be exact. This ratio dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios. The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control, and they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We did have one gripe about the Model Two controls, though--the same gripe we had about the Model Three. Unlike the high-contrast labeling we found on the Platinum Series Model One radio, the Model Two's blue-gray lettering atop a taupe background is difficult to read, especially in low-light situations.
The Model Two's 3-inch driver is housed next to the tuning dial and is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. The companion speaker contains the same driver in a form factor that is the same size and construction as the Model Two's main unit. A 15-foot RCA speaker cord attached to the companion speaker allows you to set the speakers well apart in a room--great for getting optimal stereo separation. There's a small balance dial on the rear of the main unit as well as a mono-stereo switch.
A coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire is provided, although the Model Two also has an internal FM antenna. Tivoli recommends using the supplied external antenna for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of closely spaced stations. There's a handy switch for alternating between the internal and external antennae, as well. A standard 3.5-millimeter headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5-millimeter auxiliary line-in port for plugging in the Model CD. For the really techno-savvy, there's also a 3.5-millimeter mixing input that permits audio from your computer to be mixed in with the radio. A preamp-out jack is provided for the Model Subwoofer, and if you want to use the Model Two as a component tuner--not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry--Tivoli has provided a 3.5-millimeter output port.
The Subwoofer adds rich bass to the Model Two. |
Model Subwoofer
At 6.5 inches high, 9.5 inches wide, and 6.1 inches deep, the Model Subwoofer is a bit larger than the other components in the Tivoli component system. While a 5.25-inch bass driver dominates the front of the unit, there's also a deep front port for added bass response. A bass-level dial lets you decide how much of the low end you want to hear. The on-off switch has a sensor that automatically activates the subwoofer when a signal is detected. With 20 watts of power, the Model Subwoofer is an impressive little box with the capability of dramatically extending the fullness and richness of the Model Two sound.
Model CD
With its cherry wood casing, Tivoli's component CD player matches the Model Two perfectly while offering equally simple operation. We really liked the elegant slot-loading mechanism; it felt solid and reliable. Basic functions like play, stop, and track selection can be controlled on the unit. There's also a tiny little remote that adds shuffle, direct track selection, repeat, and intro-scanning functions. True to form, the remote is simple and easy to use. The Model CD's display is bright and crisp with the look of a high-end audiophile-class component. We played a number of CDs, including CD-R discs with nary a hitch. Tivoli says that the Model CD will not play CD-RW discs, however.
The Tivoli CD is elegant and capable. |
A 3.5-millimeter headset jack is provided on the back of the unit, as are RCA outputs and an AC power port that connects to a supplied brick-style AC adapter. The unit is also capable of running on DC power.
All Together Now
Setting up the component system was fairly straightforward. All of the inputs and outputs are clearly marked, and each component ships with everything you need to make the right connections. Although it might be too much to ask for, it would be great if the Model Two main unit had an AC power input for plugging in at least one of the components. This is admittedly a minor quibble, and it might not be feasible in such a small device.
Just like our experiences with other Tivoli products, sound was impressive--full of clear highs and mids and rich, room-filling lows. The Model Two tuning feature felt less accurate than the Model One, but we still were able to dial in stations quickly and easily. Overall, we recommend the Model Two as a high-quality mini-component system, because systems this size rarely sound this good. Even without the subwoofer engaged, the sound was rich and resonant. As soon as we plugged in the subwoofer, though, we were transported to near sonic bliss. It's a must-have accessory for the Model Two.--Joshua Gunn
Pros
- Simple, stylish construction on all the component parts
- Great sound from such a compact system; good tuning accuracy
- Subwoofer option adds exceptional dynamic range
Cons
- Tuner is slightly less accurate than the Model One

Small package, BIG punch.......2007-11-06
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2R53UC4JWIVBZ Surprisingly strong audio out of this small package. Great for a small room or computer set up. Listen to the audio quality in my video review.
Tivoli Value.......2007-09-16
First, I am already a Tivoli fan. I have Model One units in my office, kitchen and master bathroom. Recently I purchased the Model 2 and the subwoofer to compliment my 32" Sharp LCD TV. The 32" LCD is the family TV set up in my living room. If you are like me and my family, we do not listen to regular programs, sports and movies at "movie theater" volume, but we were looking for something stronger than the tv speakers. The Model 2 with subwoofer is a great solution. The system looks good in our living room. The Model 2 is easy to use for eveyone in the family. The sound is full, warm and much louder than we will ever need. For under $300.00 dollars we have a very impressive little system that has suprised some hard core home theater brother in laws.
Fantastic Product!.......2007-06-12
I was amazingly surprised at the sound quality this unit produces. I purchased this for our formal living area for both it's looks and sound and both are quality. Because of the speaker size these speakers are quite punchy while not losing the high end of the spectrum either. All in all they make for a great setup.
a few flaws but still the best STEREO table radio available.......2007-04-22
I'm a big fan of Tivoli products as I own several and specifically two of the Model 2 under review. As anyone who has seen these know they are finely crafted with attractive real wood cabinets and solid chassis. They offer simple analog controls with accurate tuning and excellent room filling sound. They are not to be compared to an audiophile set of componets however as neither the size of the speakers nor amplifier output is capable of the requisite dynamic impact....they are just what they're purported to be, high end table radios and to that end they really have no peer.
The two criticisms that are valid; that the tuner section is "slightly" less sensitive than the Model 1 and that the AM section is weak with regard to station pull are justifiable, however I don't know of another table radio that does a better job at either. To compare the tuner section of the Model 2 to the Model 1 is a bit disengenous anyway since the Model 1 is a mono design and has a significantly easier job than does a stereo tuner. The AM reception is a thornier issue and my advice would be to just consider this a very nice high end FM stereo radio. If your needs are to listen to talk radio and ball games (typical AM fare) then you'd probably be better served with a $29 Sony.
Great for Office, As iPod Speaker.......2007-04-14
Excellent radio, very capable external speakers for my iPod. Without repeating the same comments made by others, let me focus on two particulars.
First: Suitability for the Office. I used my Model Two at my office for the past year. It looks really nice on a desk, without adding to the visual clutter that tends to build up. Importantly, it has great FM reception even on the 51st floor of my building, which is tall enough to crowd the dial with weak stations and which is surrounded by other tall buildings generating multipath reflections for the strong signals. The Model Two sounds very good even at low volume, which of course is often mandatory at work.
Second: Suitability as iPod Speaker. I recently took my Model Two home to compare how good it sounds compared to the Apple M9867LL/A iPod Hi-Fi Home Stereo I've been using to play digital music (streamed using my Airport Express). The Apple Hi Fi is a different product, but comparisons are nonetheless useful:
Features Favoring the Apple Hi Fi:
(a) The Hi Fi has much punchier bass than the Model Two without subwoofer.
(b) The Hi Fi has an optical in.
(c) The Hi Fi has a remote volume control.
(d) The Hi Fi has a built-in iPod dock.
(e) The Hi Fi is at least nominally portable, with a battery compartment.
Features Favoring the Model Two:
(a) The Model Two looks better and less intrusive in our traditional living room.
(c) The Model Two has vastly better stereo separation.
(d) The Model Two has better midrange detail.
(e) The Model Two has a wider effective listening area in the room. The Hi Fi has a very narrow soundstage, and if you step out of that area the sound quality suffers.
(f) The Model Two has a good radio built-in.
Bottom line: Playing back from an iPod or using Airtunes, I prefer the sound coming out of the Model Two over that of the Apple Hi Fi.
