I know I’m throwing stuff out at the moment, but, if I had the money, I’d make an exception for these. The Aktimate Maxi speakers are active speakers- the left speaker has an amp onboard to power itself and the right speaker, as well as numerous inputs and an iPod dock. It’ll also do internet radio and streaming wirelessly, and receive FM. I admit I haven’t seen them in the glossy finished flesh, let alone heard them, but by all accounts sound quality is excellent.

Of course, if I bought something with an iPod dock I’d have to buy an iPod……..

Hurry. At the time of writing there were only two left in stock.
