My laptop's speakers sound like ass, and I hate wearing headphones indoors, unless I'm being a douche bag at work.
I've determined I need one of those iPod dock station/speaker/clock/radio things. I guess the clock and radio features aren't necessary, but most of them seem to come with it.
As far as useage goes, I pretty much want it for my bedroom, and I expect it to be able to fill my room with glorious music of a reasonably loud volume. I'm not looking to piss my housemates off, or have the neighboors call the cops - but I want some decent sound.
I've seen prices range from $40 to $400 on these, and I'm not sure how much more I'll get for my money with a $400 purchase over say... a $100 or $200 one. I'm assuming most of the ones going for $40 either stop working or have tinny or echoy sound.
A friend suggested getting one of the towers and hooking it to my TV, but I really don't have room for that.
So I'm basically looking for suggestions. If anyone has any, it's appreciated.
