About Tivoli Audio
Tivoli Audio was started by Tom DeVesto with the goal of bringing simple to use, high
quality audio products to consumers at reasonable prices. His long professional association with Henry Kloss includes 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. Here, 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 television (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 DeVesto. In 2000, at the age of 70, Henry
emerged from retirement to once again team-up with DeVesto to produce the original,
critically acclaimed Model One mono table radio.
