iPod Shelf Stereo Reco??
Looking for a small shelf stereo for my iPod and iPhone. Very tempted to go with a tube system because I like the looks. (Naturally, the benefits of tubes can't be fully optimized due to the inherent limitations of digital MP3s... but it looks so damn cool.)

Thinking about this system:

Anybody got recommendations on something under $250 USD? I'm all ears.

Thanks!

DAVID

How about Kef:

This one is a bit above you budget, but has gotten good reviews:

My favorite is probably the B&W Zeppelin, but it's even more expensive:

Thanks for the feedback. Want to stay in the $250-300 range (or less) because it's going into a vacation property that I may rent out on occasion to cover expenses. Want good sound, but don't want to tempt guests I don't know or to draw too much attention from the locals.

What do you think about Klipsch?

DAVID

The Klipsch iGroove is getting great reviews on Amazon, and it's only $80 now.
http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-iGroov.../dp/B000FTU77C

The RoomGroove is $200, but I see someone said it may not work with the latest generation iPods:
http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-RoomGr...JTHN7FPY92WMYT

Check out this one too - it got some good reviews and is $217 on Amazon:

I have the Harman Kardon one mentioned above and it's truly impressive. Much fuller sound that you would expect from such a small enclosure and sounds better than the Monitor Audio i-deck we have in another room. The only issue is the docking system is finicky as it is located just under the handle for the unit.

BTW the Monitor Audio i-deck I mentioned is another option if you don't like the boombox look of the HK (and I think we paid only $150 for this one at Audio Advisor): http://www.hometheatermag.com/ipodac...es/106monitor/). Aesthetics aside, if you are looking to fill a decent sized room with music, the HK is actually better.

This is a "Luxury Goods" forum, not a budget forum

The B&W Zeppelin is the shiznit, end of story....

UPDATE

Purchased Chestnut Hill's George. $499 and worth every spanking penny. If I had heard the Zepplin things might have been different, but the Chestnut Hill absolutely rocks.

"In a nearly endless array of devices designed for Apple's iPod, George stands out as one of the slickest."
