I just bought a Teac HD Radio/iPod docking system at Costco for $99. Amazon calls it a clock radio, and I suppose it could be considered one, but I wouldn't use it as one. It has more than decent sound, definitely room filling, fairly good bass, with an AUX input jack. I plan on getting a home connector for my XM receiver and plug that in there, at least for as long as XM is still around. I know Teac isn't anywhere near top of the line, but I've been looking at these for a while and this definitely had the best sound in this price range, much better than the tinny-sounding JBLs, as well as a good, heavy-weight remote. It's a mini-remote, but the weight has a good feel in your hand. Plus, I think the system itself it's a nice looking unit. Very subdued. If I want to hear streaming, one of my computers is on the other side of the room with some so-so HK speakers attached. http://www.amazon.com/Teac-Clock-Radio-iPhone-Docking/dp/B001TI8LSU ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
