I disagree. Take a look at the Tivoli Model 1 - a sample of which I'm
a proud owner.

Would you have seen a small radio like that have the kind of sound
quality that it does? That's been a big improvement.

Years ago, to get hi-fi sound, you would have needed a console with a
12" or 15" speaker. Or a table-top with at least an 8" speaker.

To squeeze that kind of quality out of a 3" driver back then....I don't
know if it was possible.

Then there's the FM tuner section - compare it with one of those
drifty, deaf Sarkes-Tarzian or Granco FM units from the 60s? Not even
close.

How about a more fair comparison: The KLH Model 21.

I have one of these, and it's still going strong, no repairs ever.
And it's only 45 years old!
