Fantastic bass performance from this affordable and sleek iPod dock
TEACS later day ghetto blaster, SR100I Aurb combines expanded iPod dock, FM radio and slot-loading CD player to great effect in this stylish elliptical design. Factor in a USB port on which to play MP3 files directly from the Flash drive and format flexibility so that you can find.
Clearly inspired by b&w Zeppelin and Meridian F80, packed an equally powerful Aurb 2x50W amp until similarly styled cabinets. The big difference is the price, this pretender built at a fraction of the budget for both models, so you actually get much more value for your money, but with a little less finesse.
Little touches, like the way the cradle bracket glides out from the smooth front fascia accept your iPod, ensure this classy, however, is still in a similar League but.
The tapering shape is apparently perfect shape to accommodate the two-way stereo speakers, bass reflex ports and associated electronics.It also provides a good amount of space between the speakers, which reaches a convincing stereo imaging when you sit in front of it.
It is a powerful audio also backed up with prodigious base that can really move some air when called for, in fact love Aurb nothing more than to cut with soaring guitars and explosive drums.The base is less punchy as Geneva Sound 'S, but it fills the room nicely; And at the other end of the scale, tweeter is a splashy touch. Commends the boomy bass, so that the overall effect is a compelling sound that takes your attention and delivers a compelling enough performance for this price.
And if you still remember your CD collection, slot-loading the player can be the Aurb killer feature. A well-produced CD album still trumps all too compressed MP3 files after all and the sound here is very clean and fresh.
The USB port is not able to read an external hard drive disc drive boring, but it is very fast access of the songs on a stick. Front panel controls make it easy to switch between sources and you'll also get a perfect surfboard-shaped remote control for armchair operation.
A battery to make this beat you really portable would have been nice, but if this and the lack of a wi-fi music streaming features not faze you and you're in the market for a bass-heavy boom box with all styles covered, it might be accused of you.
