With all the options out there for iPod docking stations/sound systems, it can get a little overwhelming deciding what to purchase. Many of the docks out there promise big sound but leave much to be desired in the long run. One new product we received recently that has been getting some serious play in the SB store is the Kanto SYD 5 system.

This is the perfect unit to use for a larger room or home, and it is loud—we cranked it up here in South Burlington and it was clearly audible all the way across the store. Sporting 80 Watts of power, the SYD 5 packs quite a punch, and it is also one of the physically larger systems we carry—a turn off for some, but with four speakers inside there isn’t any wasted space.

One of the coolest features of this system is it has a built-in auxiliary AC plug, which means you can plug your AirPort Express right into the back of it, then connect a 3.5mm stereo cable between the AirPort and the SYD 5, and rock out to all the tunes on your computer as well as your iPod or iPhone.

The SYD 5 charges all of the current and previous generation iPods and iPhones, includes a multifunction remote, and is available in 4 slick colors. Click here to check out all of the specs, and come on into the store for a demo!
