I was in Comets the other day as a guy plugged his Ipod into a JBL speaker / dock...extraordinary sound output. It was kinda dome shaped and looked not too big, not too small. I think it was £169.
Good compared to similar priced items, no idea, but my wife wants one.
Is it neccessary to spend that much...more homework i think, but it did occur to me, i can see my music system (that everyone has)...will become redundant.
