      Re: High End IPOD B&W Speakers

      But for relatively low prices and powerful performance, I love PSBs. they're just incredible speakers. B&W, KEF and Sonus Faber (especially the Grand Piano Series) are my favorite Speaker companies, I know I've grown out of the phase where I'll plonk +4K on a pair of speakers and so I will probably buy the entire package from PSB (the image series)





      mated with a nice NAD or Rotel Amp / Pre-Amp and you're golden.

        Yep. My room. The sub is only for home-cinema-use. There are a pair of 805s at the other side of the room to complete the 5.1-setup.

        No Marantz, itīs an Accuphase. And yes, itīs the 800-series of B&W (803s).
        MP3 and FLAC is coming wireless via a Sonos-multiroom-system.


        The B&W-Zeppelin is a good recommendation. If Iīd use an ipod then Iīd probably buy it, too.

          I only use it for bedroom/office use - my main system is always preferred.

              This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                Looks cool, but how does it sound when playing some low bit rate music that Apple sometimes sells?

                                if you consider it will be a potential lifetime worth of use, for some audiophiles, it will justify the cost. But I probably wont spend that much for speakers that are exclusive to the iPod, I may get the cheaper bose sounddock considering it's portability.

                                but I would definitely spend much much more if I will buy speakers for all around more usage.
