Best speakers for an 80Gig iPod?

What are considered the best speakers or plugin unit to use with an 80 Gig iPod to replace a domestic hi fi system, a unit that would sit in a living room?
I know this is a regular topic on this board but am asking specifically for definitive recommendations from you guys...
(I'm in the UK so those wonderful but heavy USA systems that are not available over here and would cost a fortune to ship would be a problem...)
Thanks!
Chris

(Forgot to add this bit - oops!)
Do any of these speaker units have AUX IN inputs? I actually want to replace my hi-fi system with this unit so will need to be able to take audio from my DVD player too.
Thanks!
Chris

  • Best speakers for ipod

    I would like to use my Ipod Nano to play music for my
    wedding/reception. I'm wondering which speakers would
    best serve this purpose. The wedding is small, but
    moves from outdoors to indoors, so I need something portable that also has good sound quality (i.e., loud). Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I have just read the following

  • What is the best dock with speakers for a new ipod classic

    I need to purchase a new ipod classic and portiable dock with speakers for my organization.  What would be best for a classroom setting?

    I would say Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign are the industry standard in design. But not the most affordable if your are on a tight budget. Photoshop elements has most of major features as the full version of Photoshop but is much cheaper. You can also download a trail version of the Adobe products from Adobe's website for your son to try out.
    Also, look in the app store on the Featured page, there is a link on the right, "Apps for Designers". There you can find several image editing and vector programs he could try. There might be a few layout programs as well.
    I would say if he is serious about getting into graphic design, Adobe products are the way to go. 

  • Best settings for importing to iPod classic

    Have a lot of music on my ipod that I have imported at low quality settings. Am going to take some time re-doing this so would like to know the best settings for the best quality sound. Have plenty of room and would prefer a richer sound rather than more quantity.
    Many thanks.
    (I assume I would put the old track in the recycle bin and then import the new track.

  • Best Speakers for CD-quality in iTunes?

    What are the best speakers to hook up to the IMAC to get CD-quality from the iTunes digital jukebox? I want a full, rich, clear sound (clearer than what iTunes offers) that is not bass heavy. Sometimes, the sound appears far away or tinny just on the iTunes jukebox.

    I use the Bose Computer speakers already mentioned. If they are not suitable then go shopping to listen to what suits your ears.
    My home system is Bose Acoustimass 10 speakers through a Denon AVR. I also interface a Apple TV to the Denon and all sounds nice to my ears.
    What suits my ears might not sound nice to yours - it is subjective.

  • Best speakers for the Mackie Big Knob?

    Hey,
    I'm an FCP users but thought you logic lot would have a better idea perhaps. I'm using a Mackie Big Knob mixer for editing and need a couple of speakers for under £300.00 and wondered if anyone had any suggestions?
    Also is it at all possible to monitor 5.1 of the mixer?
    Much Thanks, Matt

    Have a look at the little KRK's as well. Sound decent for the size, and look kinda purdy, which is the most important thing in an edit suite...

  • What's the best speakers for the Z3

    Today I was looking at some induction touch speakers and they were mainly made for the iphone and wouldn't really work with the sony z3.  So what would everyone suggest??  Should mention that I'm trying to go for something wireless.

  • Best speakers for MP3player in my room

    What is the best 2.1 speaker set for my Zen Micro? I just want to connect it to my ZM, not to a PC.. The I-Trigues should be right for that purpose, i think.. Which is the best Quality/Price choise?

    Can't hurt to try but I wouldn't get my hopes up. As others have said, you can disallow in app purchases in restrictions, you can also, after you change your iTunes password, set it to always demand a password to do anything.

  • Best speakers for imac

    Dear all,
    I cannot decide between the Harman Kardon Soundsticks II or the Bose Companion 5.
    Does anyone have any experience of using these with an imac and can you advise?
    Are the Bose speakers worth nearly 3x the price?
    Many thanks

    Ok, I listen to bunch of speakers this week. Here's my amateur review: The Bose Music Monitors and the Companion 3 sound about the same. You're paying for MM's small size. The Companion 5 sound better for sure, but they are not 5.1 surround sound. It's surround-ish. So I would think of the Companion 5s as simply good sounding stereo speakers. It's $150 more and I think it's worth it.
    Also listen to Bang & Olufsen's BeoLab 4s ($1000) and BeoLab 3s ($4000). The 4s sound good, I'd say the Companion 5s sound slightly better. The 3s sound great! But at $4k though. IMO, clearly not worth 10x more than the Companion 5s.
    Also listened to the BeoLab 5s for the fun of it, which are full size floor speakers. Positively overkill as computer speakers, but they sounded awesome!! But they are $20k for the pair!!

  • What is the best app for finding lost Ipod touch?

    Have icloud, but concerned that it didnt work without wi-fi.. is there a app out there that can find lost/stolen Ipod without having a wifi connection?
    Thank you

    There is no wasy to find it without wi-fi.
    Wi-fi ius the ONLY way the ipod touch has to locate it.
    ipods have no GPS or any other method of location.

  • Best speakers for iMac from the Store?

    My budget is around $700, I'm currently looking at these from the store:
    B&W MM-1 $500
    Focal XS 2.1 $600
    Paradigm Millenia CT $700
    Has anyone tried out these speakers and can make a good assesment on them? Is it safe to say the B&W and Focal would sound better quality due to their built in DAC? Any input would be appreciated. I'm on the verge of just ordering all three and giving them a test run myself.

    Personal preference.   All 3 are awesome choices.  There are other choices out there that aren't listed on the apple store ( thus cheaper ) that also sound excellent.  Could save yourself a little money.

  • Any Opinions on the Best Speakers

    hey
    I just got a new 17" MBP for school. Grad architecture, but I need some god small speakers for the MBP and a good headset when I need some softer tunes to get me through the late nights. I am not a fan of Bose. any suggestions on some great speakers and a headset for a new MBP 17"? I saw some small black AND I THINK WHITE TO ON APPLE.COM IN THE STORE. THE REVIEWS WERE 50/50 AT THAT TIME BUT I THINK THEY WERE JUST PUT out.
    Sorry, the caps slipped into gear.
    Any experience with the best of the best speakers for the MBP and a great headset to listen to music or using Skype?
    Thanks.

    Hi thomas,
    I haven't updated to iOS 8 yet but I have been using Week Calendar for over 6 years and it is brilliant. The developer is smart and responsive. It is nicely priced besides.

  • What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices?

    What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices? I would like to get some good speakers to be used with my iPod, iPhone and iPad. Ideally, they should be able to play using AirPlay and be quite powerful, but with a good design if possible.
    I am particularly interested in the Fidelio range of speakers by Philips.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Best is going to be a matter of opinion.  What environment are the speakers going to be used in? How large is the room? What type of music are you going to play? What features/functions would you like in the speakers? What price range are you looking for?  All of these are going to effect which speakers will best fit your needs.

    Hello,
    I totally agree with Chris's suggestion, I do have Bose Soundock, JBL soundstage and iPod HiFi, with no doubt, iPod HiFi is my one of my best investment.
