ABOUT TIVOLI AUDIO
Tivoli Audio was started by Tom DeVesto with the goal of bringing simple to use, high
quality audio products to the consumer at reasonable prices. His long professional
association with Henry Kloss included co-founding Cambridge SoundWorks*. As CEO
and head of research and development at his former company, Tom was responsible
for the development of many of the best selling home entertainment and multi-media
products on the market. He also held senior management positions in product development
at both Advent and Kloss Video.
Henry Kloss (1929-2002) began his long love affair with audio back in the early 1950’s
when, as a student at M.I.T., he began building speaker enclosures for fellow students
who wanted to exploit the sound of live FM broadcasts of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra. With encouragement from Major Edwin Armstrong, inventor of FM, and M.I.T.
lab staff, he co-founded Acoustic Research in 1952. At Acoustic Resear
ch, Henry co-
invented the revolutionary AR1 acoustic suspension loudspeaker, which forever changed
the way audio was reproduced. In 1957 he went on to co-found KLH where he introduced
audio enthusiasts to the Model Six loudspeaker, Model Eight FM table radio, and the
Model 11 portable phonograph. Ten years later at Advent, he designed one of the first
projection televisions (which earned him an Emmy Award), along with one of the first
consumer cassette decks utilizing Dolby B noise reduction**. After continuing projection
television work at Kloss Video, Henry co-founded Cambridge SoundWorks in 1988 along
with Tom DeV
esto. In 2000, at the age of 70, Henry emerged from retir
ement to once
again team-up with DeVesto to produce the original, critically acclaimed Model One
mono table radio.
