If the Tivoli alarm clock uses the same oddball "loudness" curve that Mr. Kloss built into the Tivoli Model One, then I would vote for it.
My Model One baffles me. I can pick apart the unnatural sound of the neat little box in a bunch of negative ways, but when I just listen to it at conversational levels I catch myself admiring little details that I could never hear on my other small radios. It sounds so wrong but also sounds so right.
Plus, the way it looks just pushes the right buttons for me.
I was going to buy one of those Bose radios, but the do not sound as good at lower levels as the Tivoli. Cranked up they do beat it, but who listens to a table radio/clock radio cranked up?
