The sound and the workmanship is simply top of the money.
The design is strongly applied to the 70s and like it or not. Since I already lived at this time, I get along very well with it. A backlit display in combination with the tube-like sound can just relax.
Now to the most popular comparison here: WR 1 vs. TIVOLI Model. 1
I also own the TIVOLI device and can therefore neutral report, because I think both devices devices have their place.
For the WR 1 speaks really incredible value for money.
Listening to the radio is possible for hours with a lot of joy. Here, I would leave it as additional devices must be always one and unplugged to operate it. When a device is connected via the jack silenced the radio. To listen to the radio must be unplugged again.
The Model 1 offers the more noble appearance, the switchable AUX input and the image factor.
From the art, the reception and the sound both playing in a high league.
Buyer's Guide: Who attaches importance only to listen to the radio, you should please buy the WR 1. All others I recommend the TIVOLI.
Or better yet, only radio, definitely the WR 1 ... who wants more, please reach for TIVOLI Model Two (with Stereo Speaker) and buys plus the CD player and the SUB. That is namely again significantly longer and looks great in combination.
Update January 2012:
After more 3 years I would like to add my review a bit:
All my Tivoli appliances are sold again! Why?
The Model Two had within a year 3 x 3 x for service and was replaced. None of the devices held for longer than 6 months. This is a sad result.
My WR1 contrast runs as the day and gives me a day new pleasures. I can unlike Tivoli recommend it and would love to increase your score on 10 stars.
