Classy sonics, compact size – a bargain

The Klipsch looks like a shrunken Bose SoundDock, is sold for a song, and makes marvellous music. Inside the tough plastic case lurk four high-quality speakers and a good amplifier. The Klipsch’s top-mounted on/off and volume controls proved easy to operate, although the remote control was fiddly. The sound was surprisingly sophisticated and bristled with detail whether playing Mantovani or Marilyn Manson. As the volume increased, the Klipsch rose to the challenge and sounded clean right up to its maximum setting. It fell short of the best for sheer grunt, but its twin-speaker design created a strong stereo effect. Given the sturdy design and modest price tag, it’s a belter.
