Product Description

The Tivoli Henry Kloss Model Two Radio with companion speaker, the Tivoli Model Subwoofer, and the Tivoli Model CD are designed to be used together as part of a complete compact stereo system but are sold separately.

All the elements of the component system have classic styling that makes Tivoli products so distinctive. Simplicity and elegance are engineered into all three components and, for the most part, we came away impressed with what this little system could do in terms of sound quality, as well as its ease of use. It's worth noting here that all three components sport separate ports for AC and DC power, making them a great choice for boating or RV use.

Henry Kloss Model Two
The Model Two serves as the base unit for the Tivoli component system. It is very similar to the Model Three clock radio, without the alarm clock section. Like other Tivoli radios, the Model Two is just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep--about the size of a toaster turned on its side. The unit also ships with a companion speaker which, unlike the monaural Henry Kloss Model One, gives the system full stereo separation.



The Tivoli Model Two with companion speaker.
The Model Two has a single rotary dial that handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that's a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob--a five-to-one ratio, to be exact. This ratio dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios. The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control, and they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We did have one gripe about the Model Two controls, though--the same gripe we had about the Model Three. Unlike the high-contrast labeling we found on the Platinum Series Model One radio, the Model Two's blue-gray lettering atop a taupe background is difficult to read, especially in low-light situations.

The Model Two's 3-inch driver is housed next to the tuning dial and is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. The companion speaker contains the same driver in a form factor that is the same size and construction as the Model Two's main unit. A 15-foot RCA speaker cord attached to the companion speaker allows you to set the speakers well apart in a room--great for getting optimal stereo separation. There's a small balance dial on the rear of the main unit as well as a mono-stereo switch.

A coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire is provided, although the Model Two also has an internal FM antenna. Tivoli recommends using the supplied external antenna for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of closely spaced stations. There's a handy switch for alternating between the internal and external antennae, as well. A standard 3.5-millimeter headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5-millimeter auxiliary line-in port for plugging in the Model CD. For the really techno-savvy, there's also a 3.5-millimeter mixing input that permits audio from your computer to be mixed with the radio. A preamp-out jack is provided for the Model Subwoofer, and if you want to use the Model Two as a component tuner--not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry--Tivoli has provided a 3.5-millimeter output port.



The Subwoofer adds rich bass to the Model Two.
Model Subwoofer
At 6.5 inches high, 9.5 inches wide, and 6.1 inches deep, the Model Subwoofer is a bit larger than the other components in the Tivoli system. While a 5.25-inch bass driver dominates the front of the unit, there's also a deep front port for added bass response. A bass-level dial lets you decide how much of the low end you want to hear. The on-off switch has a sensor that automatically activates the subwoofer when a signal is detected. With 20 watts of power, the Model Subwoofer is an impressive little box with the capability of dramatically extending the fullness and richness of the Model Two sound.

Model CD
With its cherry wood casing, Tivoli's component CD player matches the Model Two perfectly while offering equally simple operation. We really liked the elegant slot-loading mechanism; it felt solid and reliable. Basic functions like play, stop, and track selection can be controlled on the unit. There's also a tiny little remote that adds shuffle, direct track selection, repeat, and intro-scanning functions. True to form, the remote is simple and easy to use. The Model CD's display is bright and crisp with the look of a high-end audiophile-class component. We played a number of CDs, including CD-R discs with nary a hitch. Tivoli says that the Model CD will not play CD-RW discs, however.



The Tivoli CD is elegant and capable.
A 3.5-millimeter headset jack is provided on the back of the unit, as are RCA outputs and an AC power port that connects to a supplied brick-style AC adapter. The unit is also capable of running on DC power.

All Together Now
Setting up the component system was fairly straightforward. All of the inputs and outputs are clearly marked, and each component ships with everything you need to make the right connections. Although it might be too much to ask for, it would be great if the Model Two main unit had an AC power input for plugging in at least one of the components. This is admittedly a minor quibble, and it might not be feasible in such a small device.

Just like our experiences with other Tivoli products, sound was impressive--full of clear highs and mids and rich, room-filling lows. The Model Two tuning feature felt less accurate than the Model One, but we still were able to dial in stations quickly and easily. Overall, we recommend the Model Two as a high-quality mini-component system, because systems this size rarely sound this good. Even without the subwoofer engaged, the sound was rich and resonant. As soon as we plugged in the subwoofer, though, we were transported to near sonic bliss. It's a must-have accessory for the Model Two.--Joshua Gunn

Some Words of Warning About Wooden Greenhouses

If you’ve been shopping around for a possible greenhouse for your own home or yard, your eye may have been drawn to some beautiful wooden greenhouses.  These structures are often the most aesthetically pleasing of all the models of greenhouses there are, and many people choose them because they look so very beautiful.  There are even lean-to greenhouses, those that are meant to be attached to an exterior wall of your home or garage, that are made of wood that is specifically designed to match your home’s exterior.  But while wooden greenhouses may look just about the best of any of your options, there are some things to consider before you purchase.

 

For one, wooden greenhouses may be made of pressure treated lumber or may have a waterproof coating, but this doesn’t mean they’ll last forever.  Some have problems with structures made of wood as they tend to rot after ten years or so.  This isn’t always the case but is more typical in very humid environments.  If you live in an area with high humidity you may want to reconsider any of your choices when it comes to wooden greenhouses.  While you may have had your heart set on this material or a particular design, it’s going to be a waste of your money if you need to replace it in ten years.

 

It also seems to be true that wooden greenhouses don’t stand up to extreme environments and weather conditions the way other materials do.  They’re more prone to breakage in very high winds.  Again, this isn’t always true but for smaller structures it’s possible for them to break during rough weather.  You may notice that a pane or two is snapped or twisted if your area has gone through some pretty severe weather.  Of course, no greenhouse is impervious to damage in extreme circumstances but it seems to be true that wooden greenhouses are just more delicate than those made of another material.

 

There are those however that have chosen from all the beautiful designs of wooden greenhouses and report being very happy with their purchase.  They feel that the wood makes their greenhouse more welcoming and inviting and take the time to decorate the outside of the structure with potted plants or landscaping to really enhance it as much as possible.  If you’re looking for the most aesthetic appeal for your structure then perhaps one of those wooden greenhouses would be the best choice for you. 

Many purchase structures that are large enough to treat like a sunroom and put a few reclining patio chairs in their greenhouse; this can be a nice place to relax on a summer afternoon as you’re out of the elements but are still nice and toasty warm.  If you’re thinking of using your greenhouse as an actual retreat or extra room then of course wooden greenhouses make for the best choice.  But whatever your final decision, remember that any greenhouse is going to be a beautiful option for years to come.

Pay debt fast

Debt is fast becoming one of the most popular ways to get people from high-interest debt to pay off these debts and then simply make one monthly payment. This is most often cheaper and will cost less in total interest each month. Debt consolidation is a great alternative for those who fear that it might have to declare bankruptcy to get out of debt free. It is also good for those that result in this economy, losing control over their finances. There are a number of professionals to use debt consolidation to you from the financial debt hole.

1st Interest rates

There are various benefits to be achieved through debt consolidation. A lot of people are asked to pledge some form of collateral which is usually a lien on their home or other properties that may have that are valuable. As a result of debt consolidation loans are much lower interest rate, then some other types of loans.

2nd Lower monthly payments

It also allows a lower monthly payment to what you originally paid. This is due to a lower amount of interest they pay for funds to be used to repay loans. As a result, your payments are lower, after your total combined accounts will pay every month.

3rd One creditor

This will make your finances much easier solution, if you think about having only one creditor to pay every month. The average American in today’s company has 10 or more creditors, which must be paid every month. This can lead to confusion and a lot of time spent to write checks and pay bills online each month. One payment is all you will have to deal with each and every month, which is much easier for you, those are compared to paying several creditors each month and get out of debt.

3rd Tax relief

Do you have potential savings of debt consolidation in the form of tax breaks that women could get? Interest payments, based on these mortgages can be used as tax depreciation. Tax savings you’ll receive during this process is well worth the effort involved.

These are just some of the benefits that you will experience with debt consolidation.

Wooden Blinds – Beautiful, Natural and Available

 

Slatted Wooden Blinds ( Houten Jalozieen) are easy and practical to use, and are a popular and traditional choice. The main, and only difference, between them and a ‘Venetian Blind’ is the material they’re made of. Although people do refer to Wooden Blinds( Houten Jalozieen) as Venetians, the term is more often used when referring to the metal and plastic, ‘modern’ slatted blinds which are so easily available, and popular today. The name Venetian mostly refers to the horizontal design, which was first patented by a London gentleman in the late seventeen hundreds.. However, bamboo and Wooden Blinds( Houten Jalozieen) were being used many centuries before, by the Japanese. Wooden Blinds( Houten Jalozieen) use the exact same interconnecting cord system, which modern plastic and metal Venetians do. A system of string pulleys joins the individual wooden slats together, allowing them to be rotated up to one hundred and seventy degrees. Therefore, making it very easy to control how much light enters the room, while still maintaining a certain level of privacy.

You will discover, Wooden Blinds ( Houten Jalozieen) are manufactured in a huge range of painted and natural finishes, depending on the type of wood used. Every colour under the rainbow and almost every type of wood is available, including oak. Standard slat widths are twenty five, thirty five, and 50mm. Although Wooden Blinds( Houten Jalozieen) are most often available in the Venetian style, there are also wooden vertical, or Persian styles around. As is typical of this style, the slats will be wider, but they function in the same way as Venetians, making them very practical. As well as a cord pulley manual system, they can also be motorised. This can be invaluable for use on a window where access is difficult. The term ‘Window Blind’ in general, is used to describe a broad range of window coverings. As well as for horizontal and vertical, Venetian and Persian‘s respectively, it is also a term used in reference to Louver Shutters, Roman Shades, Roller & Pleated designs. To name but a few. However, they can easily be categorised into two main groups, and they are, slatted, and solid. Their definition being relative to the way the blind opens, slats being the more adjustable, and therefore, the most controllable and practical.

Wood weave blinds are the latest home fashion trend. They’re easy to use and not dissimilar to roman blinds. Wood weave blinds are solid, not slatted, therefore offer a completely different look to the more traditional horizontal, and vertical designs. These blinds are all natural, manufactured in a range of wood, including bamboo and jute. They can give a room a unique, yet natural look. The Japanese are known to have used wood and bamboo blinds, but it was the Egyptian Pharaohs who first used reed blinds. Blinds made from interlaced twigs, Pinoleum Blinds, are another popular and economical natural wood, solid blind. Solid Blinds may not be so adjustable as horizontal and vertical blinds, but they are still an extremely practical window covering. Wooden Blinds ( Houten Jalozieen) look great anywhere, natural, beautiful, practical and depending on which wood you opt for, economical.. You certainly won’t be short of options.
