Peter,
   
      Have you considered adding an extra pair of speakers to your main 
stereo ?  I found a nice pair of Dual indoor/outdoor speakers on sale last 
summer.  They were less than $60 and could be wall mounted up out of the 
way.  They also sound better than any small radio.
   
  The nice part is that I don't have to turn the volume up so laoud as to be 
annoying to others.

LUGgers: My faithful kitchen clock radio has given up the ghost after many 
years. I want to replace it with something that has good sound and good FM 
reception. I mostly listen to classical music, NPR news and jazz. It 
doesn't have to replace my living room stereo, but I want good sound, as 
we spend a lot of time in the kitchen/dining area.

After reading reviews, it looks like the Tivoli Model One has about the 
best cost/performance ratio, and many people speak highly of it. Any of 
you folks have experience with it?

The Bose Waveguide radio appears overpriced, and many people say the 
Tivoli actually sounds better.

Now for a wrinkle. Right now, Radio Shack has a radio that looks 
suspiciously like the Tivoli with the controls slightly rearranged. 
It'son sale for $50--a far cry from the Tivoli's $120 price. I'm 
wondering if it is the same radio made by the same Chinese factory, or if 
the similarity is only skin-deep.
