Anyone bought a portable speaker system for their ipod? I was thinking maybe one of the Klipsch iGroove setups. Anyone have any experience? I know these aren't generally great sounding, but I need something portable for the wife. Just don't want to buy junk.
I have both AudioEngine A2 and A5 and the A2 is a lot more portable. I have them positioned overhead of my desk and they sound like big headphones. You won't be disappointed. No sub needed.
No. Cambridge Soundworks was founded by Henry Kloss about 15 years ago. It's the same Henry of Acoustic Research, KLH, and Advent fame ... before the companies and names were sold a half dozen or so times. They make very good radio products. Cambridge Audio is a British based audio manufacturer, which was once owned or was the house brand for Richer Sounds. One of CA's lines is the Azur line.
The JBL "on stage" is a really portable unit. (if shes anything like my wife, it would fit in her purse) Both of my kids have one, and my wife has the bigger "Time Machine" in our bathroom. Don't let the size fool you, they sound amazingly good for what they are. I've never tried the smaller "micro" line. The mark II and newer have a remote also. Easy to find on ebay. I don't think you can beat them for the money.
There was a write-up for a Sharp unit in Stereophile recently. It got high marks and was very portable. I've used my Logitech Squeezebox Radio for motorcycle trips and it worked out great. It has the added feature of wifi internet radio if you find yourself in a 'hot spot'. The Radio has only one speaker but very good fidelity for the size and it has a remote and battery power (plays for about 6 hours on battery) available.
