Recommend an iPod docking/speaker system

[TheProfessor]

Okay, I am racking my brains trying to find a good iPod docking station/speaker set.

Here is the criteria:

1) Reasonably good sound, I don't need it to be portable and it can be as large as a mini system/shelf stereo.

2) I'd like to keep price to a max of about $200, but I'm willing to spend more if it'll get me a much better unit.

3) Must have built in digital radio tuner.


I've looked at stuff from Logitech, Altec Lansing, JVC, Panasonic, Sony, etc.

I was set to buy a Sony Micro System ( http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10101289&catid=23256 ) but when I went to see it I wasn't impressed with the fit and finish. It may still be what I end up getting but I was hoping somebody here had a system to suggest that might be better.

Any help is much appreciated.

A friend of mine bought (but subsequently returned for some reason) a logitech mini-system. I can't remember the model number, but that thing sounded really good even cranked up, solid design, compact (if you cared about that), and its rechargeable.

I think I know which one your friend bought, and if so, I want something a little more robust sounding.

Thanks though, keep the suggestions coming.

Take a look at products by iHome...

I have an IHome IH6, and it's great. FM/AM radio, clock, preset buttons. Sounds great and also comes with a remote. Check it out.

I also have an Ihome on but not sure what model it is since its at home, it has the radio and alarm clock in it and its great. i love it. i also have a sonic impact one for travelling and its great too but it does not have the features ur looking for, made more compact for travelling but great sound.

The BOSE one sounded nice, I tried it at Future Shop one time.

Yeah, it is definately one of the better sounding ones out there, but I just can't justify spending upwards of $300 on it. For about $50 more I can get a brand name home theatre in a box with iPod dock and I'll be getting five speakers, sub, dvd player, etc.
