only two complaints: 1) slightly heavy bass and no way to turn it down, and 2) don't know whether it's the ipod or the dock but my 60gb video ipod behaves strangely after being docked here.

Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere Dock

from www.amazon.com
for the last five years, the sound was good - but i was really surprised at the sound quality with the logitech - i like a lot of bass and these deliver even though it is a surprisingly small system.
from www.amazon.com
in addition to the 2" drivers, it has a pair of what logitech calls "pressure drivers", actually passive radiators that really help push out the bass.
from www.amazon.com
surprisingly, this has good bass for how small it is.
from www.amazon.com
it may not have big booming bass (these are small speakers after all).
from www.amazon.com
it produces good midrange sound, although as expected it is a little weak on bass.

from www.amazon.com
what i was looking for was some mad sick nasty bass, and didn't expect to find it here due to it's size compared to the lbt.
from www.amazon.com
the sound is really good and you can get a lot of bass out of it especially if you use some kind of equalizer on the device you plug in via the aux jack (i use itunes eq and that works well).
from www.amazon.com
when you are in a bass-heavy mode, you have to be careful about shaking your rafters (or those of your neighbors).
from www.amazon.com
let me just say, that the bass is amazing, especially with techno and rock music.

Onkyo CS-325 Shelf System

bass response is also quite good (though some may prefer more "ground-shaking" bottom which in this case you can get an additional sub-woofer to satisfy that need; system comes with a sub pre-out

i could ask for better bass perhaps due to its smaller woofer.

bass & treble control (some don't have either, but see below),
from www.amazon.com
if you prefer a deeper bass, you might need to add a subwoofer - a special output is present.
from www.amazon.com
for a bookshelf stereo, the sound is quite nice, a bit bright and not much of a bottom for the bass, but very clean and true.

the bass is very powerful.

Teac GF-350 Shelf System

from www.amazon.com
i recently purchased the teac gf-350 turntable/cd recorder and i am somewhat disappointed with the sound quality (lacking bass) on the music system itself; when i am playing/recording my archived
from www.amazon.com
it simply is a turntable/cd-recorder whereas you can listen to your music but not at high levels as a normal stereo with good bass.
from www.amazon.com
the only fault is a minor one, and that is that it has no treble/bass control.
from www.amazon.com
the biggest drawback would be the lack of bass/treble adjustment if you are using this for listening, as opposed to recording onto cd's.
from www.amazon.com
the only improvement i would suggest is the bass tone needs to be upgraded.

where does the bass come?
from www.amazon.com
the sangean wr-3 has separate bass & treble controls which are lacking on my friend's wave radio.

in playing with the sound options--the part of this unit i had the most interest in and curiosity about--i ultimately realized that even the fine design and speaker capabilities of this radio/cd

the bass tends to be muddy and when you use the eq to adjust it up, it tends to get boomy.

Philips BTM630 Shelf System

from www.amazon.com
audio quality was quite good for it's size, although it has a pronounced boominess in the mid-bass when used in an enclosed spot like a bookshelf.
from www.amazon.com
it's fair - not a whole lot of bass, mids are a little muddy, highs are very nice.
from www.amazon.com
the highs and mids are pretty good, and the bass is ok for such a small unit.

bass is very weak or nonexistent.

from shopping.yahoo.com
but overall its great hi fi if u like bass and high bass sound because u can use subwoofer its big and incredible ...
from www.amazon.com
this thing is so friggin crazy the bass is so crazy that i put it next to a junky panisonic and the panisonic broke thats how crazy this is.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't matter if you will be using it for casual listening, at softer volume levels, or playing your favorite rock cd's at higher volume levels with the bass subwoofer on.
from www.amazon.com
with any compact system you will get a very limited range of sound-shaping options, for example this sony only has 3 preset equalizer settings instead of allowing you to set bass and treble manually,
from www.amazon.com
i purchased this stereo because i liked the fact of the bass, the watts, and importantly the sound.

from www.amazon.com
it still delivers great bass, mind you; it is just a thought.
from www.amazon.com
also, sound-wise some of the presets can be a little heavy on the "watch my furniture vibrate across the room" excess bass feel, but this can be toned down as well.

Onkyo CBX300. All In One Audio System Shelf

from www.amazon.com
compared to the onkyo in terms of audio quality, certainly the more expensive cambridge soundworks has a deeper richer bass.
from www.amazon.com
glad i did, the sound is clear, crisp, and the bass adequate for me.
from www.amazon.com
bass is more than adequate, and volume loud enough to fill a 25' x 20' room without any distortion.
from www.amazon.com
the sound is terrific, not too bass-heavy, very clear and powerful.
from www.amazon.com

from from frederick maryland, www.circuitcity.com
the bass is pretty decent but not a big wow if that is what you are looking for.
from JoshG from Warren, MI, www.circuitcity.com
you can only change the bass and treble.
from www.amazon.com
the sound is good - i like the bass system - there is a bass eq.
from www.amazon.com
and, for the first time with atrac, we get a bass and treble option to modify the sound.
from www.amazon.com
i suppose my only complaint is the somewhat limited control of bass and treble (which can only be done through the remote, and only to a certain extent).

Onkyo MC35Tech CD Shelf System

$199.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.vanns.com
clarity and bass at low volume is what i wanted and mc35-tech is the best sub $400 system that one can get.
from www.amazon.com
if you are partial to low end bass, get a subwoofer (i did) since the system includes a sub output.
from www.amazon.com
warm and lush is how i would describe the sound - bass is punchy, mids and highs are smooth.
from www.amazon.com
they lack bass response and the imaging is just not there.
from www.amazon.com
i have a pioneer dvd player's audio out connected directly to this system, and with the "presence control" of the onkyo at position 3, and tweaking of the dvd player's sound mode settings, the sound

LG PC12 Shelf System

from matjdes, www.newegg.com
bass is insufficient.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
there is no bass and it is a very low volume maximum; so low that i wasn't able to hear it across the lab.it would be ok vor small rooms and if you don't really care about the sound quality.
from Funky Docta, www.newegg.com
cons: there should be a bass adjustment feature.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
cons: the am/fm antennae isn't internal.design's a little odd.for such a large case, the bass could be better.
from KenB, www.newegg.com
no bass, except through the headphone output.

from lakevillaman, www.shopping.com
serious audiophiles cannot adjust bass or treble.

good sound, in the sense that it does not distort, does not kick the bass too loud (i would conjecture the response is pretty flat, which i have come to appreciate in the last couple of years), it

at first, i too lamented over the absence of even rudimentary sound controls (bass and treble).

Crosley CR221 Shelf System

from www.amazon.com
the bass and treble are very natural and smooth.
from www.amazon.com
i found the bass pleasing, not overdone, and those who complained of massive outlet connections seem in my view to be exaggerating.
from www.amazon.com
the drinking straws trick for the port tube can clarify the bass if you like.
from www.amazon.com
compare with boston acoustic, crosley solo has more rough bass than boston.
from www.amazon.com
next, it would be nice if there was a bass/treble know since the bass is pretty full and could be problematic in an office setting.

Denon S-52 Shelf System

$500.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
overall sound quality is very good, the audissey "automatic" eq system works fairly well for most kinds of music, though it sounds like the bass is overboosted at times, especially with some radio
from www.amazon.com
i was surprised that the s-52 doesn't have any tone or bass and treble adjustments, but that's because it uses electronics to adjust the tone dynamically based on volume.
from www.amazon.com
we both prefered denon, which had richer bass and fuller range.
from www.amazon.com
denon uses audyssey bass-boosting technology to increase apparent bass which works relatively well but unfortunately is undefeatable should you hook up a subwoofer.
