Next up was KT Tunstall's Black Horse and The Cherry Tree. This poptastic folk-rock track has plenty of subtle mid-range frequencies and quiet sounds, accompanying bright acoustic guitars and strong female vocals, of which all were crystal clear. The many subtleties of this track were well reproduced and Tunstall's powerful voice was superbly defined, without any noticeable peaks to speak of.

We would have liked more control over the tones produced by the i300. Having control over the general loudness of the sub is nice, but not enough to help custom-tune a sound that you'd actually like to create. This is a real disappointment considering the £250 price tag.

The iPod docking unit is separate to the main system and hosts all controls

Also included with the system is a small remote control that operates via radio frequency -- this allows you to control the system even from different rooms.

Conclusion
As iPod docking systems go, Jamo's i300 sits right up at the top. For most people, the sound quality will be excellent and the build quality of the sub and satellites is superb. We liked the general clarity of the sound produced, but for £250 this expensive system would've benefited from a more capable sub and the option of controlling both bass and treble levels. Generally though, this is a terrific system that will be a treat to the ears, though not your wallet.
