Reliable replacement for the Tivoli Model Three

The Sangean WR-50 has replaced the Tivoli Model Three (original version), which offered good listening pleasure for years, but whose reception quality has recently deteriorated drastically. The WR-50 was very easy to set up and came with a user manual with clear instructions. When I connected the device for the first time, I initially thought that the display was broken because it was blank. But then I realized that the display was probably off or very dark. Sure enough, I pressed the display button a few times and there was a bright, crisp, easy-to-read white display. That's when I decided to set up the radio by looking through the owner's manual, which I highly recommend. Since I still had a fully functional Tivoli external stereo right speaker, subwoofer and CD player, I only bought the WR-50 radio and not the matching Sangean external stereo speaker. I took a chance connecting Tivoli devices to the WR-50 radio. Fortunately, all three Tivoli components connected without any problems. The WR-50 is solidly built, delivers great AM and FM sound, has a very nice display and is easy to set up. Bluetooth pairing with my iPhone 6S was quick and easy. The remote works well and has a few additional preset stations in addition to those on the radio. Radio presets are automatically set on the remote control. This is the first Sangean product I have purchased and I am impressed with the original quality. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. Will update this review if problems arise.
