An iPod dock? For £1350? Has the world gone mad?

We're used to plenty of hyperbole in press releases each time a new product arrives at our door, but even our seasoned eyebrows were raised when Krell sent us details of its £1350 KID iPod dock, billed as "the ultimate iPod system".

Given that iPod docks are two a penny these days, they'd have to be going some to justify a price of well over a grand. This we had to hear, so as we were planning the new Ultimate Guide to High-End Entertainment, it seemed just the thing for us to test.

Such a high-end dock obviously needs some pretty serious speakers to go with it, so we plumped for a pair of Martin Logan Purity speakers, yours for a cool £2390. That brings the grand total for this iPod system to a wallet-busting £3740.

So can such a system really live up to its expectations? You're about to find out, as we've just published the full review here.
