So the girlfriend has been admiring my rig (the celestion A3's, that is) and decided her one-box ipod dock is a bit naff, she's looking to spend ITRO £500 for something better.
She likes everything classical to hard rock.
Looking around I see the Fatman iTube valvedock looks to be just about right. What kinda bass can I expect on this, and what would be a good speaker upgrade if I don't plumb for the options?
What else is worth considering? I'd personally veer towards the onkyo ND-S1 and get the D-A offboard but that and a DAC/amp/speakers is a stretch for the budget, any calls on a decent amp with a digi-in?
She's unlikely to want to expand the system much, not much of a techno-head just want good sound which is why the fatman seems just right, and it looks pretty smart too which is a bonus, I doubt she'll want hulking great boxes.
