In a world obsessed with ‘new’, new technologies, new products, new gadgets, new features and packing as much as possible into something as small as possible – it’s nice to know that sometimes, just sometimes, a brand leans back, takes a breath, and goes back to basics. And maybe has a cup of tea too. We’d like to think so.
Enter: Tivoli’s Model Three BT. A charming little clock radio which has focused (almost) entirely on getting the basics of radio – specifically AM/FM tuning – right. And as an added bonus, you can stream wirelessly via any Bluetooth compatible device (… with a AUX input too, for when that’s necessary). We’re not talking retro in a literal sense here, of course, but its main focus is high fidelity reproduction from the airwaves. And giving you something nice to wake up to, off course.
The Model Three BT is perfectly at home in any environment: a cosy country kitchen, a stylish and chic bachelor pad, a messy workspace or a simple coffee table. With a range of colours and finishes available, there’s one for everyone. We like it best in the kitchen and bathroom – its easy to use (and wonderfully soothing) alarm and timer functions should be utilised to their absolute fullest. Tune in and tune out, or stream before you dream. Whatever you decide to use it for, know it’s the latest in a line of clock radios which are regarded as the best that money can buy – and this one is wireless! All the best bits of contemporary technology, but none of the drawbacks. And we challenge you not to fall in love with that adorable analogue clock – when’s the last time you saw one of those on a hi-fi radio?
Looks and delightfully streamlined features and operation aside, when we say hi-fi radio we mean it. Encased inside the hand crafted real wood veneer cabinets is a 3″ long-throw driver, which can project detailed and dynamic sound a minimum of 9 metres. That’s enough to effectively fill your average kitchen or bedroom, and then some! It’s warm, loveable and engaging on every level, and we’ve definitely fallen in love.
