There are a handful of features that separate George from the rest of the speaker-dock herd. Click below to see more pictures and learn about what makes this system so different.
A 4-inch, down-firing subwoofer is in the base of the unit. And if you notice in the image of the back below, all the way to the left is its port. There’s also a knob for adjusting the bass level. So far, and I’ve just started testing it, the bass is good and reasonably punchy, but the overall audio quality is merely satisfying and at very loud levels the 192Kbps MP3s coming off my iPod don’t sound too good. But that’s not surprising really. I take this back. I was positioned right on top of the system when I originally listened to George. Moving to another spot in the room, about 10 feet from the system, revealed much better sound. I’m not saying that it’s life changing, but the quality is still satisfying on digital music even at very loud volumes, assuming you’re more than a couple feet away from the speakers.
