Apogeusiste,

Plug-Up the "Base Port" located in the bottom suface
of the Radio and then give it a re-listen.

-IF- The Radio's AM & FM {Tuning} Reception is A-OK
and only the Sound is an Issue - Try a set of Powered
{Computer} Speakers. Use the "Record Out" Jack
-Note- This is a Fixed Line Level Stereo Output.

Use the Tioli Model One as the Center Independent "Base"
Speaker -and- the Two Powered {Computer} Speakers as
the separate Left and Right Speakers.

$120 for "The best sounding table radio in the world" that doesn't even have
single tone control? LOL!

You ever heard of Henry Kloss?

You ever heard of tone controls? Anything purporting to be "Hi Fi" needs a
minimum of a single tone control, but preferably separate Bass and Treble.
Not everyone's hearing is the same, and different programs require different
settings (speech, orchestra, rock).

Kloss was known, among other things, for minimalism. Tone controls
are not part of that program. And given the size of the panel, a tone
control may would have disrupted the clean lines, while making the panel
more busy than it needed to be.

All of which is a matter of taste.

However, your assertion that 'anything purporting to be "Hi Fi" needs
a minimum of a single tone control," flies in the face of high end
design, where the most expensive, and highest performance hardware have
no tone controls or spectral contouring circuitry at all.

That said, there are simple ways to mitigate undesireable bass content.

One of the simplest ways to control the bass perception of Model One
is to place the radio on a sound absorbant pad (one that extends several
inches from the front sides and back of the set) on a table at least one
foot from a barrier--a wall, or other raised vertical surface.

Minor mitigation of the boom (the offensive part of the bass
response) without reducing bass perception can be achieved by setting
the radio flush with the edge of a table about a foot from a barrier.

You'd be surprised at how much tone control you actually have, by
varying the staging of the set.

Great. So to make up for the poor design, you can't place it wherever you
want to. It has to be on a special pad at precise distances from other
objects.

Yeah, that's what I want.

I thought you were busy listing to low bit rate audio from the BBC. Tone
controls won't help that.

Why not use the headphone out?

I found a very good site about radios (www.eham.net), and there is a
very good review about Tivoli model one the

"The issue I have is that many of the commercial stations (all playing
music I don't want to hear-but you might) around here pump up the audio
and boost the bass in the transmission process, this excessive bass
boost by the station added to the bass boost included in the radio to
offset the tiny speaker can make the radio sound boomy and tubby with
distorted lows, and there aren't any tone controls to fix this."
