| These speakers are far superior than any others that I have ever had. I consider myself an audiophile and these babies rock. Fantastic, crisp, clear, high definition sound! |

 "Serious Dock/Vol Problems, Lousy Remote" | 2008-03-16 |
| - Reviewed By william16120 |
| I was very happy with the unit (almost Hi-Fi sound) for several months, despite the ridiculous remote and the fiddly vol/subwoofer/power controls on the docking unit. Then the docking unit started to malfunction. When you spin the vol control and/or push the sub woofer button, the sound either cuts out or alternates from speaker to speaker or blasts so loud that it threatens to either deafen you or blow the speakers. Internet seraches indicate that this is a widespread problem requiring new docking units. |

| If you own an apple ipod or ipod shuffle and want the most out of your ipod, Get these speakers. Blows away all of the competition. The sound quality is amazing. Feels like your in the first row of a concert. Well worth the price. I even use the auxiliary port for my hdtv when i'm not using the ipod. Sounds excellent with the Tv as well. Pick it up today, no regrets here. |

| "excellent, flawless sound. iFi will make your iPod rock!" | 2008-01-29 |

Really flawless sound at any volume! Classical music sounds amazing... crisp, clear, ground shaking! It's like being in a concert hall. Rock music really rocks, the subwoofer is beautiful (for both auditory and visual), with adjustable level which is nice.
iFi provides many thoughtful features such as line in on the woofer and also on the docking station (the former will allow computer sounds to play together with your music, the latter will over-ride the iPod and can be used for CD players etc).
My 160 GB iPod fits perfectly in the docking station (I didn't need to use any of the adapters included with the iFi since the 160Gb iPod is wider than most iPods).
The RF remote rocks too, since you don't have to point it at the speakers to work, you don't even have to be in the same room! It is very touch sensitive and responds very quickly, with volume up and down, track forward or back, fastforward/reverse and play/mute. On the dock itself is a lightbar that shows volume and subwoofer volume, and you can adjust subwoofer level there too. I haven't had a problem yet with figuring out which button on the remote control is volume etc (as other reviewers have) but I can see where in a dark room it might be an issue. Backlighting of the remote would have been helpful.
With such a small inconspicuous footprint (just two fairly small speakers and docking station, in addition to a pretty small subwoofer) one is very surprised to hear such HUGE sound. It easily surpasses my home theater surround sound system, at least for iPod playback (I admit I have a fairly cheap 75 watt per channel Sony 5.1 home theater system... saving my pennies to upgrade that too someday).
Piano pieces sound really wonderful on the iFi (usually speakers will distort piano playback quite a bit). On iFi the sound quality is absolutely no different (in my humble opinion) than listening to a live piano performance (at least to my amateur ears it sounds the same). I am a pianist so this means a lot to me.
Overall highly recommended product. There are some pretty good deals out on the iFi right now (jan 2008) so I would highly recommend taking advantage of one of those before their stock runs out (iFi is a limited re-edition from Klipsch... see Klipsch.com for more info.. I bought it right from their website. They had the best price especially if you can find a coupon. Check out dealnews.com for possible coupon codes)
Happy hunting! |

These speakers are the m-fing bomb, man. I did a lot of research on what home speakers to buy for my pretty little new iPod Video, and I am not disappointed. I'm sad these are discontinued, because the sound is really top-notch.
Whether at low volume or high, the sound is crisp and full-bodied. I haven't been able to turn it all the way up... I think my ear drums would crack.
I love love love these speakers. And they were very easy to put together. Yes, they're a bit heavy, but really, who cares? They're quality speakers. Just don't expect to take them to the beach or something. |

It's rare to find a product these days that delivers as this one does...Most of the time you end up spending upwards of hundreds of dollars above manufacturing costs, only to be disappointed in the results and relatively poor quality. Fortunately, I bought two when Klipsch was still making them...one here at Amazon, and my second at Costco (where it showed up a few scant weeks later after restock - at $199.00!) The system is easily worth every penny at retail. The only shortcoming is the miniscule remote (but hey!...it works). I suspect Klipsch abandoned them because they were either too high-priced over decidedly-inferior competitors' models, or because of shelving resistance from Apple, who has their own system to market.
In addition to the iPod, I use the AUX input on the dock to service home theater audio for my large-screen TV (requires an additional 3.5 mm --> RCA-type Y-cable) |

| "great speakers, heavy duty" | 2007-01-20 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1WW8PMWVAOFBH |
| OK, I'm no audiophile but my amateur opinion is that these speakers sound really great- as good as my $800 Quart speakers. My son, whose hearing is better than mine, claims the sound is comparable to a very good set of Sony earbuds. We have plugged in three different ipods, a CD and a computer- all sound great. Are they worth the price? That's hard to say. The only one who does not like the Klipsch iFi is the UPS guy. The woofer is extrordinarily HEAVY. Really heavy. Do not buy these speakers if you ever need to move them. |

| I'm a ballroom/latin/country dance DJ. This is the absolute BEST speaker system for your iPod PERIOD. All my dancers LOVE the loud, clear sound and are amazed at the small size. My dance teachers heard it and immediately bought one of their own. Beats lugging my large speakers, speaker stands, mixer, cables, etc. for rooms up to 40X60 feet with 50+ people talking and dancing. KLIPSCH is known worldwide for realistic sound reproduction. I wouldn't own any other system. I actually bought 2. The second is in my living room at home. Treat yourself to the best. |
