Keep it simple and enjoy this little wonder. Even the maple wood is first quality. No buyer's remorse here. Ok, so it's not a stereo radio, but the sound is rich and warm and the FM reception is better than on my high end Onkyo receiver. I love the infinitely adjustable tuning knob and the perfectly balanced design.
I did not expect the quality of a high powered HI-FI system, but if you need more bass, then probably the extra woofer you can purchase would give you more response or range if needed. The sound it produces is very nice for me that is. The on/off switch has a good snap to it and volume control has a good feel to it.
I was looking for a small compact table top or small bookshelf and this fits the bill perfectly. This radio should last many of years if properly taken care of. I purchased this Radio for myself.
The main tuning knob is large and gives you a good stiff turn for fine tuning your stations in along with the cool modern LED tuning eye, a throw back from vintage radio's that had a vacuum tube eye for tuning in the stations. I do not find that it produces a cheap sound or "Tinny" like a cheap transistor radio would, over all sound quality very good, but as they say "its only my opinion, I could be wrong." Rate it 5 stars out of 5 The pricing of this radio varies greatly so do a web search for the best pricing.
The quality of this radio is excellent, good work on the wood casing and color scheme (White Maple wood and a green faceplate)the numbers on all the dials are easy to read.
I love the way the knobs and dials feel. We use this radio in our kitchen to listen to talk radio. I have not heard the same thing about other models of this same brand; only about the Model one. Excellent Quality. It works awesome. Sound quality, clarity & reception are all excellent.
The controls are clear and easy to use -- especially the orange light which allows you to see the strength of a station as you are trying to tune it. It's heavy and sturdy. Highly recommened. I'm very pleased with this very solid product. It looks simple and elegant and the sound is rich for such a compact radio.
I cannot believe Henry Kloss would have approved of this abominable sound, let alone have engineered it. This problem can be improved slightly by plugging the bass-reflex port on the bottom, but still, a chesty and unenjoyable sound that makes all kinds of music sound ugly. Rats. Four stars for the retro styling, and for the overall fit and finish; zero stars for the sound quality. Even played at low volume, the radio has a chesty, muddy sound whose ponderous mid-bass poisons the midrange and high frequencies.
