Klipsch iGroove SXT iPod/Computer Speaker [Dual Long-Throw 2.5-in Woofers, Dual 0.75-in Horn-Loaded Tweeters, 1000mA Rapid Recharge Circuit, S-Video Out, Bi-Amplified]

Klipsch is definitely known for their sound systems and they have some of the best iPod docks on the market. They realize that sound quality and craftsmanship is key to consumer acceptance and they have taken it to heart in their latest creation, the Klipsch iGroove SXT iPod/Computer Speaker. They have certainly improved over the first-generation iGroove SXT (released in 2007) by adding increased compatibility for the iPhone 3Gs and all new iPod models as well as complete insulation from cell phone interference and bi-amplification technology.

The iGroove SXT remains one of the most well-constructed and affordable iPod true stereo sound systems. Unlike a lot of the cheaper models out there, Klipsch employs dual long-throw 2.5-inch woofers in a ported enclosure and dual 0.75-inch horn-loaded tweeters. Klipsch is also the only company in the iPod speaker category to utilize horn technology, a design that delivers lifelike sound as well as produces more output using less energy.

The iGroove SXT is now bi-amplified, which means each driver is individually amplified, a feature that virtually eliminates distortion and significantly improves sonic performance.? They’ve also re-tuned the bass ports on the sides of the system to remove any “port noise.”

As far as compatibility, it charges any iPod with a 30-pin connector, while the shuffle and other digital devices connect via a rear auxiliary input. And to make sure that your device is charged in a reasonable amount of time, they’ve added a 1000mA rapid recharge circuit to the system. An S-video output lets you watch videos on external monitors.

The Klipsch iGroove SXT is available for $149.99 in a black finish with a silver trim and black cloth grille. It comes with an IR remote, power adapter and power cord.
