Ok so Henry Kloss and Tivoli Radios are not Scandinavian. But they are a great design with a great sound which is why they are in our collection.
Henry Kloss refusal to be constrained by budgets, deadlines, and trends has resulted in some of the best sounding audio products ever made. His long love affair with audio began back in the early 50s when, as a student at MIT, he began building speaker enclosures for fellow students who wanted to exploit the sound of live FM broadcasts of the Boston symphony orchestra. After co-founding Acoustic Research in 1952 he helped develop the first acoustic suspension loudspeaker which forever changed the way audio was reproduced. Next came KLH and the Model 8, the first highly sensitive FM table radio, now a highly sought after collectable. Ten years after at Advent, Henry brought to market one of the first projection televisions in 1973 (which later earned him an Emmy Award) and one of the first consumer cassette decks with Dolby B noise reduction. The Kloss Video Corporation entered the picture in 1977 where Henry invented the Novatron® projection tube that employs built in mirror optics as a means of improving the performance of projection television. Then in 1988 Henry co-founded Cambridge Soundworks with long-time associate Tom DeVesto. Henry Kloss then retired having earned himself two Emmy Awards, only to emerge from retirement at the age of 70 in the year 2000. Forty years after producing his first table radio, Henry Kloss designed the critically acclaimed and absolute best selling Tivoli Audio Model One Table Radio. Henry Kloss classic Tivoli Audio designs stand as a permanent testament to his passion for fine audio, simplicity and value. |
