Tivoli Audio - UK suppliers?
Hope someone can help - I'm trying to get hold of a Tivoli Audio Model 10+ (the dab one) in walnut (which gets very good reviews)
http://tivoliaudio.co.uk/products/dab/model-10-dab-fm-clock-radio-walnut-silver.html
But Tivoli don't seem to have a UK distribution network, unless from them directly. Not currently available from Amazon etc. The price direct from Tivoli of £269 seems very high compared to US prices.
Anyone know who might stock them?
I purchased my Tivoli in the United States and then just got a UK power pack for it - must have worked out cheaper, as otherwise would not have done it.
The Ruark looks like a good alternative - and if I remember rightly, Vita Audio is/was based in good ol' Southend-on-Sea? Also birthplace of my Rega turntable.
As an Essex swamps man myself, perhaps this should be the way to go.
Hi,
I had a conversation with them a couple of months back. If I remember rightly they have brought everything back in house and are currently reviewing their strategy for the UK. I think because it was sold "anywhere and everywhere" the product became devalued and I suspect one or two dealers weren't fulfilling their obligations. This isn't fact so apologies if I'm wrong 
I think the only place you will be able to source one is direct from them for the forseeable.
Cheers,
Chris
Thanks Chris.
Yep, when they launched the Tivoli PAL+, the company announced it was no longer using distribution and would sell direct - both to consumers (via its website) and 'selected' retailers.
Not a lot of support at the moment. I've been trying to get a response via email or phone from the numbers on the uk website without success for a problem with a Model 10+
