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.
