I dont care much for push button radios either.Well,the old vacuum tube
car radios (of which I own at least seven or eight of them) have push
buttons and some of my old vacuum tube AM and AM/FM table model radios
and my old vacuum tube Grundig/Telefunken AM/FM/Shortwave/Phonograph
wooden cabinet floor model radio and my big old vacuum tube Telefunken
AM/FM/Shortwave wooden cabinet table model radios have some push buttons
on them,but that's ok.Speaking of speakers though,last week at the
Goodwill store,for two dollars,I bought a very nice Realistic (Radio
Shack) model SOLO-2 wooden cabinet speaker.It measures about 9 5/8 high
by 5 7/8 wide by 6 5/8 front to back.It has a very nice solid wood
cabinet and a sort of a gold weave looking "fabric" grill that is almost
as large as the front of the cabinet and brass color metal strips around
the grill.It has considerable weight too,I wouldn't want to accidentley
drop it on my toe.I wish there had been more than one Realistic SOLO-2
speaker at the Goodwill store,I certainly would have bought them too.I
have seen those Tivoli radios advertized before.I was wondering if they
are any good?

cuhulin: I think their good, but that depends on ones need. Their is
no shortwave in Model 2. But it does give a nice deep tone & sterio
sound in AM & FM mode. In fact it sounds nicer then my Sony ICF 2010.

I also like the old fashion look to it.

Basically, for a small desk top, it has a good sound.

The Tivoli ''Model'' series (and the PAL, I think) has an excellent FM
discrete component front-end. That is their strong point. They
pick-up FM as well as any receiver made.

But since FM is not shortwave, expect flames.

I think (I dont own one,I might buy one someday) the Tivoli,,,
Tivoli/Kloss Radios are nice Radios.

Ah, but it's 'real' radio, 'tard boy, not that satellite crap you shill for.

Run along now and leave the 'real' radio to the big boys.
