Tags: scandyna, speakers, speaker, bass
We like:
Appealing designs; excellent build quality; powerful subwoofer; conveniently sized desktop speakers
We don't like:
Costly; Micropod SE speakers not outstanding on their own; no auxiliary input on iPod dock
You might also need:
An iPod; detached house or deaf neighbours
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The complete setup in our review -- consisting of Micropod SE speakers, Minibass sub and the dock -- is a very high performing system, although expensive at around £500. The stand-out product in the Minibass subwoofer, which could always be used as an add-on for existing equipment. You'll get a fantastic sound from your iPod through this kit, but alternatives should definitely be considered if you're on a budget
