Hi can someone recommend a ipod dock with radio and alarm clock for the bedroom for about £100 that sounds good but not to big. I have a zepplin in the lounge so i am not expecting the sound to be on a par with that,but something that doesnt sound tinny,thanks.

I use the Pure Chronos iDock II and find it very good.

I have the CD version.


Perfectly acceptable for bedroom duties.

As in I have the CD version, as opposed to my being perfectly acceptable for bedroom duties.

A good choice. Another option (especially if you're going to have it on a chest of drawers for example and not next to the bed) is Yamaha's PDX50, which comes with a cool wireless adaptor for your iPod.

No it doesn't - should have considered that too! In that case, what about the TEAC Luxi - looks very cool and similarly priced. A little further up, their SR3DAB is quite a superb alarm, radio, iPod system.
