I have the Recepter HD. It's a little tubby sounding. The Tivoli
sounds better.


"...little tubby sounding " is an understatement. I also have one.
Why does it sound so poorly ? Has anyone ever try to modify /
disect / improve it ? Nice box, but what an awful audio ...


You have to suspend it in mid air (like on a $15 OSH stool). If there
are no boundaries nearby it sounds OK. They probably designed it with a
computer, or in an anechoic environment. Henry Kloss would use his ears.
