Great iPod speakers!
I used to plug in my iPod to the stereo speakers in our family room with a $9 splitter cable. But earlier this year, my husband upgraded his Tivo & moved the old one into the family room & there were no more jacks for me to use for the iPod. (BOO! OTOH, it's nice having two Tivos, now, too!) I already had the iM600 speaker dock which is nice for small areas & very portable due to the light weight & rechargeable battery. But for our family room (which is where we do most of our entertaining), the acoustics are not good & the ceiling is about 20 feet high. So the iM600 sounded like "a radio" in that room. So I went on the hunt for something to use when I'm cooking, entertaining or doing housework, since I can no longer hook up my iPod to the speakers. This speaker dock sounds great - it really does "fill up a room" (MUCH more so than the iM600.) I'm not an audiophile, but I do like a good sound. I'm hard pressed to tell the difference between this speaker dock & when I used to use our speakers.
As others have said, it would be nice to have a remote for this. OTOH, the iM600 has a remote & it seems whenever I want to use it, I have to think a few minutes & figure out where the remote is, unless I velcro it to my body. IMO, remotes are only good when you're "planted." If you're up & about, doing housework, cooking, entertaining, I tend to lose track of the remote anyway, so in one respect, NBD to not have a remote.
