The Model Two stereo radio differs from most other radios in that, each speaker has its own cabinet,
Normal stereo radios have their speakers only a few inches apart in one cabinet. This does not give a good stereo effect.
The Model Two has a left and right speaker with about 15ft of cord to connect them together. This allows you to place them a good few feet apart, and this provides much more convincing stereo than two speakers in one box.
The sound quality from such small speakers is excellent, I was suprised by the amount of bass you get. Ok! its not earth moving, but the sound is warm, natural, very clear. Not harsh and tinny produced by most radios. It will fill a room with sound, no problem at all. It will take a few hours of running in before it sounds really good.
I am using this in my kitchen instead of a mini hi-fi. It takes up less space also. Each box measures 4.5 inches high x 8.375 wide x 5.25 deep.
It might look a bit old fashoned on the outside, but inside is uses up to date technology.
Instead of a standard, off-the-shelf integrated circuit, the Model Two uses a state of the art, discrete-component FM tuner featuring GaAs MES-FET mixers. Originally developed for mobile phones, this technology helps for better FM reception and increased clarity on closely spaced stations.
The analogue tuning knob is geared-down this makes tuning easy. It has an amber light that glows when you are tuned on the station.
The Model Two has the following input / outputs...
MIx Input. External FM antenna input. ( it has a built in antenna for AM reception) Aux input. ( I have a minidisc recorder connected to mine. you can connect a cd player or tape deck. take you pick) 12volt DC input. Record output. Subwoofer output. Headphone output.
It comes packaged with the following. External FM antenna, rubber feet, and 9' power cord.
By the way It does not have an alarm or clock. So take no notice of the ratings for these. I had to fill them in on the review form.

This looks pretty nice, and good review to go with it! Keep up the good work- maybe some of your opinions and comparison to competitors but well done! Have fun, Mark.

I actually thought this radio was a set of speakers before I read your review! I think it actually looks very stylish. How much is it and where did you buy it from? Good op! Ciao for now - J

Hello there, and a belated welcome to ciao! I've rated your review H, but it would have been VH except for the fact I feel that you haven't really expressed your own opinion on the product enough. At the end of the day (like everyone around here says), we don't want to read what we can read on the label, it's your experience and opinion we want! Other than that, a very informative review! All the best, Martin
