Hello,

For FM performance only (both sound quality and reception quality) you
won't go wrong with a GE Superadio (I, II, or III), especially
considering the price. I own examples of all series (including both
versions of Model I) and I am pleased with their FM performance.

That said, I am a bit surprised that you are not satisfied with the
Tivoli Model 1. While I do not own this radio, I have heard it in
several stores and it certainly sounds good to me. Before you buy
another radio to replace it, try moving it to different locations, even
other rooms, and see if the excessive bass output is tamed. Especially
place it in the middle of your room, even though you may have no
intention of putting it there permanently, and listen carefully. If,
placed well away from any boundaries, the sound is much improved to
your ears, you will then know that it is your placement of the radio
rather than the radio itself which is causing your dissatisfaction. At
that point you may be able to find a satisfactory compromise regarding
positioning of the radio.

If, however, the sound is still as unsatisfactory to you, no matter
where you place the radio, then it's time to buy another one.

The GE Superadio is a good one to try. (Please remember that this
plastic radio is not nearly as good looking as the Tivoli. That might
be a consideration for a "significant other.") I hope the above is of
some use to you.

Best,

Joe

Hi all:
Can you recomend a very good tabletop radio to buy ?
I need a radio with very good sound (bass and treble),
and I only need FM reception.
What do you think about GE superradio ?
I have a Tivoli model one radio, but I'm disappointed (excessive bass
output).
What do you think about Sony icf704L ?
