I am a self confessed audiophile, and have modern hifi at home but I am always interested in radios and of course good design. I am thinking of buying a little radio for the kitchen. The Braun RT 20 sticks in my mind, as do these cool little units below by Tivoli..
Have you got a modern looking radio? if not, what is your fav? I did search on this subject but nothing was really dedicated to it 🙂
Hard to go wrong with the Bra...
Hard to go wrong with the Braun its gorgeous and sounds great.
The Tivoli radio seems to be a nod by Henry Kloss to his beautiful KLH tuners and radios. I prefer the KLH Model 8 to the Tivoli. That said just about all Kloss designs look and sound great
Another favorite is the Brionvega TS-522 (now back in production) The TS-502 is also great.
Also, don't rule oot B&O beolit
Lastly, there are some more nice options at the link below

My favorite little radio is so new that you can't get one yet... But it'll be shipping soon, and you can pre-order one in red if you hurry.

I have Tivoli pictured abov...
I have Tivoli pictured above (model one) really nice radio nicely made, great tone and the reception is very good,
Tivoli I pal is pretty good to plus it uses a rechargeable battery so its very portable
I'm in the middle of restoring an SK1 (similar to below) I've read that the Tivoli one is modeled on this, nice radio and pretty compact
That's one of the cool things about the Tivoli Nick...
is that it has an AUX in on the back so you could put an iPod dock next to it hooked into that line-level input, or just go out of the headphone jack, but then you've got all that bi-amplification nonsense yada yada...it even has a sub output. We have a Model Three hooked to an Airport Express and a powered subwoofer attached. It's a lot of sound from a very discreet package.
Nice Braun-style DAB radio
I really like this digital (DAB) radio that currently resides in my kitchen. It's about four years old, the sound is good, and it's got that Dieter Rams thing going on (it was designed by Ideo).
The only problem is that the manufacturer (Acoustic Solutions) seems to have gone out of business, so if you want to get one, you may have to scour eBay.
