Digital camera reviews of Tivoli Model Satellite Table Radio (Sirius Satellite Radio / AM / FM )
Digital camera Review: I am so happy with 5 Stars
I can't believe that I debated one second (I checked out all possible satellite radio options, and due to the cost, regretably hesitated on this one for one month). This is the only total satellite radio unit out there; the others you have to buy separate speakers, receivers, hand-held units, special antennas to get good reception---this unit comes complete. It was so easy to "install" this, I didn't even bother reading the directions (and I am a totally non-electronically inclined person). It took about 3 minutes to hook up and plug in--connect 2 included cables to the back of the unit, plug in the wall, and voila. PLUS, I cannot even begin to describe the amazing (yes, AMAZING) sound quality of this unit. It is comparable if not better than Bose. It sounds like the people are in your living room talking. And the sound is big; it fills my large bedroom completely. And then activating my Sirius subscription was so simple (you could do it online and save $5, or do it over the phone)--you just complete payment with credit card, Sirius gives you the signal immediately, and there you go!! I got it to listen to Howard Stern, but that pales in comparison to all the great channels available. I listed to 4 hours of classic Bluegrass music last night (who the #$&!! knew!) Plus there are tons of amazing talk channels (metaphysical info, health info, the Cosmo channel, etc.). I can't believe I waited to long; it's really amazing.Digital camera Review: No bad/not good
Summary: 4 Stars
The sound is pretty impressive.I've never had a long wait in dealing with sirius. If you can't wait a few mins., use the internet. My main complaint is that crappy remote. I wish it had a volume button. It's just too small.Digital camera Review: Quality and Style
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product after subscribing to Sirius online and I'm completely happy with it. Yes, there are a few drawbacks, such as no presets for FM and AM, but if you have satellite radio you shouldn't be listening to anything but satellite. There is no volume control on the remote which forces you to get up, but I don't mind because I'm always very close to the radio. However, the remote does have a mute button and the settings are very simple and accessible. My only criticism is that the presets are grouped by letter and are accessed by pressing the band button on the remote and then selecting a number 1-5, but that's about all. I've only had the radio for a few days now and its great. I'm going to buy the repeater system because the reception is poor on the south end of my house, but even at one bar the audio quality is spectacular and clear. If you're unsure about whether or not to purchase this item I would recommend researching the area you live in for reception and the placement of your radio to ensure the greatest music experience. If you don't mind spending the cash go for it, because this radio has definitely turned me back onto the radio.Digital camera Review: Quality satellite sound at home
Summary: 5 Stars
Great sound in a satellite radio. I find it simpler than firing up my computer, etc., and it sounds better. Great music, no commercials. No idea why Tivoli stopped making it. You cannot get the XM packages as a result. Use a good supplier in case you have any problems. I am very satisfied with Superior Products. No problem receiving signal from big city or small one. No need to put any antennas outside.
I wouldn't bother getting satellite if I wasn't also getting its great sound.
Digital camera Review: Simply the Best Satellite Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
Already owning the Model One, Two, and Subwoofer, I wasn't in the market for another Tivoli. However, when my wife found the Satellite on sale for $49.97 I couldn't pass it up (I think she regrets telling me about). Being almost identical to the Model One, I thought it would be a nice radio for the computer room so I took a chance on it.
At first, I was just excited about basically getting a Model One with a digital clock display for $50. It didn't take long to start appreciating some of the differences. The unit is very similar to the Model One with some minor changes and additions.
Changes/Additions:
* The speaker has been moved from front to the top of the radio. This actually sounds a little better since it isn't directional and kind of fills the room.
* A Mono/Stereo switch was added to the rear allowing the addition of a stereo speaker.
* A digital display was added for Sirius radio. The display includes a clock when the unit is turned off.
In the past, I had been interested in getting satellite radio. This unit made it extremely easy with just one phone call. After talking to a Sirius radio representative, I ended up buying a lifetime subscription. Listening to commercial free, Sirius radio with such good sound quality is quite the experience.
In mono mode the Model Satellite sounds just as good, if not better than, the Model One. It has a warm, rich, deep sound that fills a bedroom well. Talk radio and music are both crisp and clear sounding across all ranges.
Being so compatible to other Tivoli components, I also attached the Satellite to my right side Model Two speaker and Model Subwoofer. The sound is the same as my Model Two with the addition of the satellite radio.
All in all, I am very happy with my purchase. As a stand alone radio it is great and when matched with a stereo speaker and the subwoofer, the Model Satellite really comes alive. Even if I had to pay full price for this unit, I would still give it a very high rating.
