Well, to these ears the Roberts WM-201 sounds pretty good.  It has two
decent-sized full range drivers in a solid, bass-ported cabinet.  I
would say that it's at least the equal of a Tivoli Model One.

The Reciva-based internet radio functionality is in many respects
superior to what Squeezebox offers and the alarm works very well. 
There are 4 independent alarm programs.  The display is a backlit LCD
measuring about 3x1 inches.  This shows 3 lines of scrolling text when
the radio's on, or a giant-sized digital readout of the time when in
standby.  Brightness levels are fully adjustable.

As a media player it has limitations when compared to a Squeezebox,
though I've found it to be perfectly serviceable as a bedside device in
this role (EyeConnect is my upnp media server of choice).

To be honest, I use the Roberts far more that my Squeezeboxes simply
because it's somehow more............. convenient, I guess. 

It's also sold in the US as the Sangean WFR-20.
