    Bose Sounddock 10

    Okay guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on this one for $600.00!!!

    http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/b...amplification/

    Nevermind the rude comments on that link. I wonder why some people hate Bose with a passion. I know they're overpriced, but so is the Led Zeppelin.

    Flame on!

    If you have an Ipod, perhaps you'll understand why you need a dock.

    hey gill, not to be rude, but your fingers would fall off before you could type enough to make me "understand". Believe me , I understand.

    OK BR I see your angle now, sorry man I had to call you on it. BTW, comp hasn't shut down but I'm looking locally here at video cards. I figure while I'm at it I'll get one with the ability to ouput to my TV. You do that?

    The B&W Zep is awesome. As I said in another post, I heard one in Harrods of London last year in between lots of other high end gear sold in that store and could not believe the sound was coming from a football.

    I would by this or the little sister before I bought anything Bose!

    I understand your point HyFi, but since I don't live in an alternate universe where Ipod docks are my only choice, I won't be buying any of it.

    Wait, that was for the original poster, not you. I don't even have an MP3 player other than Windows Media Player which I rarely even listen to.

    So funny that my Phone bill just got scammed by someone who used my number to sign up for a MP3 downloading account and downloaded files. That was definitely not me!

    Oh, sorry HyFi. Yes, the irony wasn't lost on me after reading your story. If you need references to the fact that you hate MP3's, we could start a petition here at AR.

    Pops, I don't like those things, but if I had to buy one it would be the B&W. In fact, I can't stand to listen too MP3 recordings. But your right, there are better options like buying a receiver that is IPOD compatible and a small pair of bookshelf speakers or using a computer with a good sound card and good computer speakers. It would cost less and sound better.

    Since you already know that you can buy far better for the money, then there's no need for pointing that out. Bose understands that many folks buy upon emotion, not reason. And has made extraordinary amounts of money doing just that.

    Not too late yet Papa. Thanks for the link. Good price too!
    But I'm really looking for something compact (not separate components).

    I already do have separate component system downstairs.

    But my Ipod dock is just for my little nightstand upstairs.

    Look at the size of the amp in relation to the speakers. It's all quite small, simply place it all on your nightstand, I suspect it will fit.

    I would strongly agree with buying the Bose. Bose makes absolutely superior audio equipment and just about everything that's truly top-notch is a little overpriced. It's clearly the best. Why would you want anything less?

    You know I don't get it. At least the B&W I can see where the money is going, product design. The Bose is just a big chuck of square plastic with a single cheap driver. IMO, the EMP tubes look 10 times better. Exposed tubes is about as sexy as audio can get. Not to mention, tubes to defeat the harsh sound of digital. OK, that's all I will say about this, goodbye.

    With Bose some of the money goes back into marketing so the can keep reeling them in... all the while lining their pockets.
