I’ve always loved Klipsch products and have owned numerous speakers from its offerings since I convinced my father to grab a pair of KG4s back in 1984 (which are still humming along just fine in his living room to this day.) Bose gets a lot of attention for its iPod dock speaker system, but my ears tell me Klipsch’s sound better. Now it’s released an even smaller version and despite its SXT model, which brings bad memories of a horrible Ford Escort, I’m sure these little guys will be pretty impressive.
Tony Ostrom, director of product planning at Klipsch, tells us, “Our smallest and most affordable iPod speaker to date, the iGroove SXT gives listeners a lot of bang for their buck.” Tony goes on to say, “Because it takes advantage of refined industrial design, premium materials, and innovative technology, this little four-pound system can easily fill a room or office with larger-than-life performances.”
The iGroove SXT is a true two-way, stereo sound system that employs dual long-throw 2.5-inch woofers in a ported enclosure and dual 3/4-inch MicroTractrix™ Horn-loaded tweeters. Klipsch is the only company in this category to utilize horn technology, a design that delivers lifelike sound as well as produces more output using less energy.
Sweet! The iGroove SXT will charge and blast tunes from any iPod with the dock connector. Universal inserts are included for the perfect fit for your iPod. On the back you’ll find an auxiliary input for shuffles or any other device with an audio out jack. Also found in the rear is an S-video output so users can enjoy their videos on a TV or monitor. Like all good speaker docs, this baby sports an IR remote.
If you’re ready to buy, then budget $169.99 and hit your retailer in May for this bad boy.
