We downsized our house and those monster tower speakers from the 80's were just way too big. Great sound if one doesn't mind giving up half the living room.
We wanted music in the house without sacrificing too much in the way of money, sound quality or space. I checked out the reviews for this speaker and based upon all the positive reviews I bought one.
Several days later a fairly heavy, big box arrived. It turns out that much of the weight and size is due to all the packaging.
I plugged in my iPod and the speaker to the electric outlet. No sound. I pressed the buttons a few times and turned the volume up but still no sound. I get out the owners manual (99% of which are legal disclaimers) and found that there's on/off switch in the back. Doh!
We listened to a few songs and we weren't impressed. The volume and quality was fairly low ever though I rip with very high bps. Tried another album. Ah-hah! Very nice volume and quality.
Although you can't crank up the sound up so loud that the windows would vibrate and shatter, if you live in an apartment and run these speakers at the highest volume the neighbors would be calling the super or the police.
The size is perfect for us. It takes up very little floor space and is light-weight enough so that we can bring it upstairs or to another room. With our monster speakers and dual-amped setup, the sound filled the upstairs; these won't.
Using the speakers is as complicated as plugged in your iPod, pushing the on/off button on top of the speaker and adjusting the volume.
While these won't ever satisfy the audiophile, these are a great compromise for the space challenged. But then again, this didn't cost several thousands of dollars.
The speakers keep the iPod charged so that the speakers don't use and wear down the batteries.
For the price, we're extremely pleased with the product.Get more detail about iDesign Tower Stereo System for iPod.
