My wife and kids like to tease me about how excited I get by speakers. I can understand why — I have dozens of speakers around the house, from Sonos soundbars to Google Home Mini pucks to old iPod docks.

So there was more inevitable teasing when I unboxed the Tivoli Audio Model 2 Digital. At least to the point when my wife saw it, and said, (probably involuntarily), “Oh. That’s nice”.

It is a stunningly crafted speaker. In a home dominated by the metallic grills of Sonos speakers, the Tivoli’s gorgeous wood finish stands out in the best way.

It’s not perfect, with its limited control options. But if you’re after a premium AirPlay or Bluetooth speaker to listen to your music at home, then the Tivoli Audio Model 2 Digital looks and sounds great.
