Tivoli Radio???

Sure, I'll kick you to the curb Dan -- but not for acknowledging that a Wave can sound better than a Tivoli, for the class of hotel in Paris you get to stay in!! ;^) (I've recently given in to reality and made the move up from Motel 6 to Super 8 [where I go, not Paris!], so at least I usually *do* get a clock radio now...) Man, it probably wasn't even chained to the tabletop!

The Wave radio was pretty much the only good thing about that hotel.

We have a portable 4-band Sangean CC Radio (AM FM TV Weather) which sounds very good playing through it's own speaker, & has a multitude of options including an emergency weather alert function. It always travels along on boating excursions etc: cost about $150 from Herrington's mail order.

I had a Tivoli Model One for a while and was underwhelmed with the sound so I gave it away to my seven year old nephew. A fifteen year old KLH 100 made by Kyocera I use in my kitchen is much better. I do like the PAL model as it is portable and more interesting from a design point of view.
