Best Clock Radios ??

[Ralf11]

yeh, you know where this came from...

 

 

But actually, my Nakamichi clock radio has xlnt SQ, but the time drifts and has to be reset every 2-3 months.  Also, the ergonomics sux.

 

What to do?

The Tivoli clock radios are about the best I know of, currently:

I have 3 Tivoli units (none are clock radios; 2 are portable).  One of the last designs by Henry Kloss, and with a long-throw woofer.  Lack of digital tuning with push buttons is one drawback (my small town has 4 public radio stations).

 

The Ruark also looks good, and I've seen the Sangean/Music Hall units.

 

Note that all of these brands sound pretty good for what they are, look good and have good ergonomics...

The 1960's radiograms certainly had some style about them.

 

 

 

That's a really nice one!  ("consoles" in US Anglais).  I repurposed a simpler looking Magnavox in Walnut that my parents had in the '60s.  I removed the "Vibrasonic" dial but kept it...

it IS cool looking!

 

do you know anything about the speakers?  Tivoli developed some long-throw woofers for theirs
