Hey, my 'primary' system is a Tivoli!!!!

Primary, meaning the one I listen to the most. I run my ipod through my original, single speaker Tivoli in my shop and on job sites. I am often amazed at how it sounds. My shop is 50'x20' and it gets full of sound with just the Tivoli/ipod. At job sites, people are gobsmacked that "all that sound" is coming out that tiny box. I can see there wheels turning. It is not as loud as all the boom boxes one sees/hears on sites, but its not as nasty and distorted either, and it is shockingly loud with an outboard source, like an ipod or CDP. Its got a tubey sound, quite rich.

Anyway, I have actually proposed the same thing to my wife: maybe I should just use this thing at home instead of thousands of dollars of amps, speakers, etc.. I know it does not do what my home system does, but it is fun, and I enjoy music with it, and I find myself not caring about what it does not do. It gives me some trouble as to what I should upgrade, or downgrade in my home system.

By the by, I have moniters, and they sound magic on the right recordings, and I am currently looking to find something (probably moniters) that sounds good enough on ALL recordings.

peace
