Query: Excellent system for the price

I've given the iM600 four stars because I don't believe it quite measures up to the gold standard for iPod sound systems, the Bose Sounddock. But at $300, the Bose unit was too rich for my blood and I've found this Altec Lansing system to be absolutely excellent at one-third the price of the Bose (I saw the iM600 for $99 at Costco recently). The sound on the iM600 is crystal clear and has enough presence to fill smaller rooms, like a kitchen or bedroom. I would say the bass response is a bit less than advertised but still adequate. You can help bass response substantially by placing the unit against a wall, or better yet, in a corner. Even though an ad for a subwoofer is inserted into the packaging, according to Altec Lansing, that unit is no longer available. The controls are straight-forward and the mount for the iPod is well-integrated and protected. Bottom line: At $100, the Altec Lansing iM600 is the best iPod sound system available for the price.
