I have a Klipsch IGroove dock I use with my iPhone 4S, and it's pretty good.
I scored around a half off deal on Woot awhile back so got it for around $70
or so. It also does have a line in jack, so a computer could be plugged in.
It's small enough to where one could probably get it by the TV, and use it
with that with the right adapter cables from RCA to a single stereo line in,
but maybe some set-tops have a connector like this. It would be cool if they
made a newer model of this just the same with a lightning dock connector on
it for around its original price of around $150. It looks like there's no
two ways around the future devices being having to have two cables coming
out of the phone, one USB for power, and one from the headphone jack.

Vicki, here is the web site:
http://www.klipsch.com/
We are in the process of remodeling our sun room which is our primary media
room. The room is 15' x 10', and has large glass windows on three sides. We
are going to use the following audio equipment:
(4) Klipsch RF-82 Speakers
(2) Klipsch SW-110 Subwoofers
(1) SB120 as a front channel speaker
Right now we are powering it with an Audiosource AMP 310 until we can find a
better amplifier.
Frank

I've owned quite a bit of Bose equipment in my time and each item left me,
well .. lets say uninspiried. Lately, I have found a new hope in Klipsch. I
like their quality and attention to how it actuality sounds. Everything from
my small 2.1 computer system to the RF-82s that I now use in my sun room.

Check them out at a Bose store or at your Best Buy. I seem to recall that
they are but don't really remember the Companion 2 system all that well.
When you see how little they are you'll understand the sound. I know you've
seen and had them, so I say this more to those that haven't. They are really
little. I got the Companion 5 system though. For what they are, they are
epic.

I have to say I hope they're better than the companion 2. I had a pair of
those and got rid of them asap. It was like listening to a boom box instead
of something with full range.

That sounds just about right. I don't know if that price was exact It's not
too far from what I recall US ppricing to be. I've heard them and they are
good. I just preferred the Companion 5 multimedia speakers.

Hi!
This eMail is forwarded from another list I'm on, this list is an Australian
eMail list so I don't know about pricing for these Bose speakers in the U.S.
so people may wish to check.
If you're looking for a set of computer speakers at a good value for money
price then the set described here may be well worth the look given the price
they're being sold for right now.

Hi all.
Just wanted to let folks know about these awesome bose companion 2
series
iii speakers i've just bought.
There 149 dollars at the bose store or the apple store or any other
good
re-tailer.
Basically these are computer desktop speakers consisting of 2 small
desktop speakers no sub and very easy to connect up.
There are only 4 cables and a single dial on the front for turning the
speakers on and for volume.
There is also a 3.5 mm headphone jack just below the on off volume
control and on the back you have inputs for the left speaker, a c power, the
input for connecting a 3.5 mm cable then the other end of that cable
connects to a pc mac iphone whatever you wish to power.
The final input is an aux input for connecting to another device.
Keep in mind these are not hi-fi speakers but if your looking for
something just for a pc or mac or a laptop, you can't go past the bose
companion 2 series 3 speakres.
These are the newest desktop speakers in the Bose lineup.
Grab a pair today and enjoy crisp clear sound never heard from a pair
of
speakers this small.
