It's got them all beat

I just bought the ifi speaker system from klipsch and I gotta say it has any other ipod speaker I've seen beat hands down. From the heavy, solid quality of the sub and sattelite speakers to the clear, signature Klipsch sound this is a serious system not a plastic tabletop setup. I don't have a problem with the small remote but I found the hex nut allen wrench adjustment difficult to handle. I do appreciate the fail-safe it offers, as you certainly don't want anything to happen to these puppies. A small price to pay for the awesome sound it delivers. Everyone walks into the room and says, "wow! what's that?'

not cheap but destroys Bose!

I am a bit of an audiophile so I don't take MP3s seriously, whether running off an iPod or some other player, but Klipsch has come up with something that makes MP3 sound *almost* as good as CD. My nephew got one of these for his birthday and I was quite impressed at the sound quality, even the subwoofer is pretty decent...no match for a good audiophile Hsu or SVS sub but much better than the other Klipsch computer subwoofers which were always a bit underpowered.

It certainly annihilates that pathetic Bose SoundDock POS...not much of a surprise there of course, Bose is the biggest scam in consumer electronics today. If you shop around you can sometimes find it marked down for a lot less than four hundred clams.

As great as advertised

I purchased this product and am 100% satisfied. Speakers are solid (metal-not plastic)and sound is great. This is not an accessory or a cool gadget. This turns your ipod into a kick ass home stereo. Sound is crystal clear and as loud as you could possibly want. Speakers can stand alone, be placed on speaker stands, or hung on a wall. If you are into your music, this is well worth the price. On a side note, I purchased this product refurbished for 1/2 price from the manufacturer and it works great and there are no cosmetic blemishes (this is a possibility as indicated on the site).

Who needs a stereo when you've got an iFi?

Just purchased my iFi at Costco for half price $199.00 and I could not be more pleased. Not only does the unit sound fantastic but the price was the best I've seen by far. The unit can take input from your computer or any other mini-stereo plug output and produces rich, room-filling sound with power to spare.

I'd listened to all the competitors (Bose, Altec Lansing, etc.) and this unit blows the others away. It's worth the retail price of $399 but I MUCH rather get it for half that :)

Thanks, Costco and Klipsch!

Blows Away Apple HiFi

I went to the Apple Store to pick up the cute little HiFi that just came out after reading several positive reviews online (and okay, some negative ones.) I went to the store just to give it a little listen and pick one up.

After a few minutes of listening I went "this is it?"

Yes, it is adorable and the iPod sticks right in the top but frankly - the Apple speaker system is not really great sounding.

I looked over to the back and sitting on the floor were two large Klipsch iFi speaker systems looking unwanted and ignored. I had previously been locked on getting those and the marketing machine at Apple almost made me forget them.

I peeked at the boxes and the prices were slashed from SRP. Asked a sales rep and he said they were being discontinued but it was too bad since he had a pair and he LOVED them. I asked him what he would buy and he said hands down - "The iFi."

So... with alot of hesitation I took the chance. And then almost broke my back trying to pick up the iFi box. (Yes, they are solid solid speakers.) Luckily the Apple Store is awesome and they wheeled them down to the dock so I could put them in my car (in a mall no doubt!)

Anyway -- I got them home and started hooking them up.

Okay -- so these things look like computer speakers. Don't let that fool you. Feel the weight of one of the satellites and you realize this is a nicely made speaker. I have Logitech 5500 Digitals hooked to my PC so I have pretty much the best computer speakers out there.

I think the iFi's are better. Truly big sound from 3 speakers. Great resonance. Crisp at every level. A subwoofer that is musical and not overly boomy or made to make up for the lacking of the other speakers (Bose.... yeah you know it.)

I put them through the paces of everything on my iPod and everything sounds awesome. The only thing not awesome is that i now feel like re-ripping all my music in Apple Lossless codec as I can now hear artifacts in some (not all) tracks.

They are wall mountable and everything is well made. The room I have them in has 20 foot ceilings and it fills it with large spacious sound. I had the satellites 4 feet apart and moving them to 12 feet made a big difference.

Downsides: the remote is tiny and you can't tell what the buttons are very well, NO balance control, the volume wheel seems backwards and is very hard to turn, and lastly - it is real speaker wire so you have to screw the wires on the back. No fancy plugs here.

Another gripe is with Apple -- you don't get the cool new features on your iPod that you get with their own speaker (surprise surprise). You also can't navigate the iPod menu with the remote only jump tracks.

All in all though -- this is the best iPod speaker system out there. Unless you have to have portability which was not an issue for me. This is now my stereo system.

And now I know why Apple wants to get the iFi's out of their store - next to these babies, the Apple HiFi sounds weak indeed. Smart move, really.
