I find this the most difficult radio of the 3 Tivolis I own to use. The writing for the knobs and radio frequencies are impossible to read. Don't know if the other colors have more legible printing, but I would recommend changes to this one...

Great alarm radio
Date:May 18, 2010
This is a great bed side radio. The sound quality is great compared to anything else that i've listed to. The only one downside that I fnd is the fact that missing a second volume control. It needs one for the sleep volume and one for the alarm volume. You want it loud in the morning and quiet enough at night to fall sleep listening to. To me the sleep function is useless because of this

I would re-design the radio so that the station numbers are more visible - they are hard to read. Also, the light on the clock should be able to be shut off while one is sleeping.
Otherwise, I like the wood case and proportions.

Excellent Bedside Radio
Date:October 25, 2009
I've had the Model Three for a number of years, and it's as good as a clock radio gets. With the second speaker and the Model CD alongside it, it works well as a full stereo for a small room. Sound is excellent and the unit is beautiful. The alarm clock isn't as reliable as I'd like, but this is a minor issue. Excellent product for bedside and small rooms.

Lovely product-can't read the time!
Date:October 23, 2009
I love this product HOWEVER it is very difficult to read the time! The clock hands are the same length but different widths. It is quite amazing to me how this really makes it hard to tell what the time is, esp in the middle of the night. I also have it on my night stand, and i think the height of the night stand vis-a-vis the height of my head may make for a bad combo. But, I still lOVE LOVE LOVE IT b/c it is so beautiful!

I've had my Model 3 for just over a year and love it. The sound is awesome and it impressively has a vast array of inputs and outputs in the back. I use it as my bedroom clock radio and the alarm works wonderfully in every mode. I love the aux input as I play my Ipod through it and use it as a connection to my PC so I can listen to one of my favorite stations, BBC Radio 2, from the U.K.. I only rated the "ease of use" 4 stars as you set the alarm with the clock casing that has to be turned in one direction only. I can't wait to get my next Tivoli, a Networks, ane I no longer will need to wire in my PC.
Anyone looking for a high quality, beautifully finished radio cannot go wrong with the Model 3.

My Favorite Bedside Clock Radio Ever!
Date:October 14, 2009
I've owned the Model Three for over a year. My wife and I use it in our master bedroom. One speaker and clock for me (with controls) and one speaker and clock for her. We keep our iPod plugged in so we can sit in bed and read with some soothing background music to listen to with a cup of tea. The sound is exceptional at any volume level. Sometimes while we're getting ready in the morning, we'll crank it up and listen as we're going from bathroom to closet. I've never heard any distortion at any volume level. And I like the sound better than the Boss Wave radio our friends have. I use a pillow speaker sometimes and listen while I fall asleep with the pillow speaker plugged into the headphone jack. The Model Three has an easy to use sleep timer so I can put some nice music on to fall asleep to and the radio will turn off after I'm asleep. I also use my Pioneer Inno satellite radio with the Model Three. Sometimes I'll escape into the bedroom and turn on the radio and listen while I read or just surf stations on my satellite radio. My wife didn't like my other ugly radios. When I found the Model One, she liked the looks so we found the Model Three and bought if for our bedroom. Now she's happy with the looks and we both love the rich stereo sound. And she got rid of her old yucky looking alarm clock and used the Model Three alarm now. We can each use our alarms independently of each other.

Wonderful Versatility
Date:October 14, 2009
Hands down the best clock radio ever made. Sounds great, looks better, and with an unusally wide range of add-ons for a table radio, it is one my favorite Tivoli Audio designs.

Best sounding clock radio ever
Date:October 13, 2009
I have been a fan of Tivoli radios since my purchase of an IPal about 5 years ago. the clock radio does not disappoint. I got the matching speaker and actually show it off to friends who think it sound better than most of their home systems. I love it

Analog is not dead!
Date:October 13, 2009
Simple, high quality, elegant.... these are a few words that come to mind. And then you turn it on and listen to it! I love Tivoli table radios; I know of no equal for sound or old fashioned high quality style.
The only thing that would make it better would be if the alarm bezel would rotate in both directions, but that is minor really.

Very good radio clock
Date:October 13, 2009
Please note that I referred to the Model Three as a 'radio clock' instead of 'clock radio'. The radio - both the reception and the sound - is outstanding. The alarm clock works fine too but it is just a clock - it is very useful but you don't 'enjoy' a clock. The radio, though, is truly enjoyable. The auxiliary input, stereo headphone output, sub output, extra speaker output, and the excellent build quality put the Model Three way ahead of the competition. The only criticism I have is that the lettering is not too readable under all light conditions.

Beutiful Clock Radio
Date:October 13, 2009
This a beautiful and unique product; extremely simple design yet with numerous inputs and outputs; great for playing podcasts from an iPod or other MP3 player. The sound is a bit heavy on the bass for talk radio and news but great for most any type of music. The clock runs off of a battery so power outages will not affect the alarm.

I love waking to this radio
Date:October 13, 2009
It's easy to tune into stations. It's a pleasure to wake to it in the morning. Sometimes I plug my laptop into it and watch a movie in bed. Sound quality is very nice, particularly with the second speaker. The only reason I didn't rate the audio quality higher is the McIntosh in the living room.

Favorite Clock Radio Ever
Date:October 13, 2009
I have had my Model 3 for some time now and have been very happy with it. Styling is excellent, and the features including battery backup for the clock, AUX support (for MP3), sub and remote speaker have made it the best clock radio I have ever owned.
My only concern has been the sensitivity of the receiver--was expecting to be blown away, but it is average. Thankfully connecting an MP3 player or portable CD to it is a snap!
