Let me sum it up
1. Consumer Reports said Tivoli "sounds better" than Bose Radio and Radio CD series but is not as easy to use and convenient as Bose.
2. Stereophile magazine: Tivoli is a Class D recommended component list for its Tuner section including Tivoli Audio Model One, Model Two and PAL (Portable radio)
3. I personally think it sounds much better than Bose at half the price krub. However, I doubt about aftersales services.
