GOB SMACKED
(5 out of 5) by Trevor on Nov 29, 2006 (England)For the price i thought i would take the risk on buying these speakers but didnt really know what to expect. Arrived the following day after placing my order ( great delivery service ). Took about 5 minutes to unpack and set up. Then the shock came as i turned it on....The sound was fantasic ,thought i might have just been lucky by the song i played so went on to play a mixture of different styles and no matter what i played the sound was great. Handles the bass well... I was just gob smacked...The best purchase i have made in ages, A complete bargain.
The only shock i had was the size of the box when it arrived but dont worry its all packaging...The only downside is there is no volume switch on the unit its all done by the remote but its no big deal as long as you keep the remote safe. Would strongly recommend.

Its nearly perfect for the price
(5 out of 5) by steve on Oct 19, 2006 (derbyshire)All the previous reviews rave about the sound - all of which I agree with; yes there are some niggles such as the blue light (which I like), no controls on the unit and what to do if your battery fails on the remote - but I think for the price and the quality of sound, you cant really complain
There is one gripe however, hence the nearly perfect, and something the pictures don't show.
The transformer is almost the size of a brick, and heavier, and something which I hadn't noticed until my wife started complaining about buzzing at night (ooer). The lead from the transformer isn't that long, which has meant that its on the same shelf as the speakers (thankfully hidden by them), but this causes reverberation. Okay, it can't be heard when the music is on, but we now have to turn the unit off at the socket when its not in use.

GREAT SOUND GREAT PRICE
(4 out of 5) by anon on Nov 16, 2006 (nwlassie)I LOVE this speaker dock. It looks great and the sound is superb. Very easy to set up and use.
If I had to find a down side, it would be that it isn't small, about the same size as a midi hifi. Also no operating buttons on the system itself, so if you lose or break the remote you can't change the volume.
Oh and by the way, it did come with a nano dock attachment which worked perfectly!
Basically, be extra careful with the remote and don't expect a portable system and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

best ipod speaker system money can buy!
(5 out of 5) by B. Kermode on Nov 19, 2006 (isle of man)I've been meaning to buy one of these for some time as a friend has got one and i was very impressed. Then i noticed amazon are selling them for under half price, i had to get one. It was delivered in a couple of days and is very easy to set up straight out of the box. The sound is brilliant and i can't find any fault with it. If you thinking of getting one i'd say get it, you won't regret it!

Wow!! Well worth the money!!
(5 out of 5) by Emma Hunt on Dec 2, 2005 (Lincoln)Well, what can i say! I've had my monitor audio system about 45 minutes and i'm extremly impressed! The music quality from such a small system is quite frankly astounding, i have put the volume as high as my ears can stand and the quality is still deep and rich! and it will go higher! If anyone is looking to get a stereo system for their ipod, i highly recommmend the monitor audio, yes it is a lot of money but its totally worth it!!
