I have heard great things about this product and I was wondering if any of you have heard this thing in a listening enviroment.
No, I do not believe that it is in stores yet.
Are there any tests that have been done on the sound quality of the Hi Fi?
There has been limited review of it. Apple & Computer-related magazines & websites say its the greatest thing since the 5th gen iPod. Music/Stereo publications that got ahold of one tend to think its a very poor music system for $350.
What we do know is this.......
*Mono speaker. You will never achieve 'real' stereo music with this system. Its just one speaker (albeit, one speaker with several drivers), with no "reflecting" technology of any sort (unlike, say, Yamaha's single speaker surround doohicky).
*There are no tweeters. Just 2 3" midranges (which account for its 16KHz dropoff), and a 5" woofer.
*Published specs say a low of about 60Hz to a high of about 16KHz.
*portable, runs on D-batteries.
Its really just the Apple® brand Bose® Sound-Dock, not the second coming of Hi-Fi culture.
