Tivoli Audio Model 1 Tuner I’m selling a Tivoli Audio Model 1. It’s 25% of buying a new one so basically peanuts. If you want it you’ll need to make the effort of picking it up at my place as I will not make the effort of shipping it. So don’t ask if I would ship as I would not. Unless you don’t mind paying a $834.50 shipping fee (my hourly rate to get my butt out of my listening chair is fairly high). Condition: Very Good Payment Method: cash Region/State: (WA) Western Australia/Australia By Colonel Sanders 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $50 Date: November 1, 2025Nov 1
At A$50, this Tivoli Audio Model One Tuner is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of A$101 and nearly A$82 under the median of A$132 from 23 recent AUD comparables. Enthusiasts value the Model One for its precision analog tuner that pulls in weak stations clearly and its real wood veneer cabinet delivering surprisingly robust sound from a compact single speaker. Using it specifically as a dedicated tuner adds meaningful utility, as its analog nature pairs well with vintage or modern external amplifiers for a pure FM/AM listening experience.
The listing’s very_good condition at this price point makes it a clear buying opportunity with minimal risk. Common quirks like tuning-dial drift or AM interference are easily managed by exercising the dial or adding an external AM antenna, neither of which outweighs the value here. With no missing accessories flagged and a price that rewards early ownership, this is a genuine deal for anyone seeking a well-crafted, retro-styled analog tuner at a fraction of typical market value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Tivoli Audio
Tivoli Audio was founded in Boston in 2000 by legendary audio engineer Henry Kloss and entrepreneur Tom DeVesto. Kloss, a towering figure in American audio history with a five-decade career spanning Acoustic Research, Advent, and Cambridge Soundworks, designed the company's inaugural product—the Model One tabletop AM/FM radio—at age 71. Though Kloss passed away in 2002, the company has continued to thrive under subsequent leadership, establishing itself as a global brand present in over 30 countries by 2006.
The brand specializes in tabletop and portable radios that marry vintage aesthetics with modern connectivity. Tivoli's product range centers on AM/FM receivers and wireless speakers, with offerings including the iconic Model One, the portable PAL radio, and the ART wireless collection. The company has progressively integrated contemporary features—Bluetooth connectivity arrived in 2010, Wi-Fi streaming and Spotify Connect in 2015—while maintaining the minimalist, retro-inspired industrial design that defines its identity.
Tivoli Audio occupies a distinctive mid-market position, neither budget nor ultra-premium. The brand appeals to design-conscious consumers and audio enthusiasts who value natural sound reproduction and aesthetic restraint over cutting-edge specifications. Tivoli's reputation rests on the principle that quality audio and thoughtful design are equally important and inseparable—a philosophy inherited from Kloss's legacy and reflected in products that prioritize simplicity, usability, and enduring appeal over technical excess.
