Klipsch iFi

Those shopping for speakers for their desktop should look elsewhere, but for a home stereo setting, the iFi is the best sounding iPod speaker system we’ve heard, by a significant margin. In fact, its full, rich sound is comparable to many home stereo systems–you could put together a home system that sounds better, but you’d be hard-pressed to do so for $400, including the convenience of the dock base and remote control. Treble fans probably won’t fall in love with the iFi, but everyone else should guard their pocketbooks. As the first iPod-dockable home speaker system on the market, and one that largely lives up to its advertising hype, the Klipsch iFi is in a class of its own.
