Dusty Chalk Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 So what was the consensus for this -- the question being, what's the best cheapest "totable" speaker dock/pair of actives/whatevs for the iPod. AudioEngine A5's? Quad 12L? Martin-Logan CLX? Bose? I guess the single thing I would miss the most is not distorting at medium volumes in the mid-field. Any 2.1 systems worth looking at that have any decent bass? I'm considering something like this or even ugly like this, but I suspect the latter of a midrange suckout (tweeters and woofers, no mids), and the former of boombox sound (doesn't go loud* enough well). * And by loud, I don't mean party loud, I mean just normal for most other people loud.
swt61 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 This is a little bit outside of the box, as far as for home use maybe, but it's what I use everyday at the jobsite. It sounds petty decent, and it's held up to all weather for 4 years now. The iPod is very well protected too. http://www.ridgid.com/Tools/R8408-Jobsite-Radio/
Dusty Chalk Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Posted July 9, 2011 Dude, I am all about outside the box. Will definitely give that one a more thorough investigation.What size are you looking for?Something I can move from one room of the house to another in one or two trips. 3 is pushing it, but could be convinced. So like the Quad 12L's and a LOD would do it, but 2 speakers, sub, LOD and amp/dock/w/subout is a bit much, unless it was an all-in-one system that hooked together such as this if it sounded good enough.
swt61 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Dusty the newer version is available at Home Depot for about $150.00 IIRC, though it is a bit smaller than the version I linked.
