Tivoli Radio???

I bought a Tivoli clock radio and returned it. Terrible functionality and disappointing sound, but the speaker configuration is different in the clock radio than in the standard table radio. I bought a Cambridge Soundworks instead but I hate it too. Sounds terrible and is hard to use. I miss my old Proton except for its hum problem.

When I was growing up, we had a rather large Zenith table radio. It was in a wood enclosure with small feet. It had tubes of course and was a two-way. A bit bass heavy but, damn, it sounded great.

Gunbei, I've had a few of those Protons and gave some as gifts. Mine developed an irritating hum, which is apparently a problem they have. Proton has given up the ghost, but basically the same radio is still sold (or was a couple of years ago) under the Sangean label. I bought one but there was the hum so I sent it back. Maybe I shouldn't have. This Cambridge Soundworks thing I have is not good.

Last year, I was in a hotel in Paris and there was a Bose Wave in my room. I put it on a local classical station. I have to say, it sounded very good to me. Go ahead, throw me out of here, but it's true.

The Wave radio was pretty much the only good thing about that hotel.
