Battlelessmodo, Chesnut Hill Sound George

After narrowly losing the Battlemodo finale, the Altec Lansing IMV712 was angry, pissed even. A split decision loss wasn't what the heavyweight had in mind as we called a few extra low blows on behalf of the lightweight champion, the Griffin Amplifi.

So the IMV712 begged for another fight, requesting the biggest, baddest dock we could throw at him. And it just so happened we had one dock we couldn't include in the competition due to rumored steroid use inflating the price, the $499 Chestnut Hill Sound George.

It was the perfect unfair match-up to please our underappreciated IMV712, which is the entire reason we're not doing a head to head. Hit the jump for a more standard review of the Chestnut Hill Sound George. And we'll give you some impressions of how it stacks up to the IMV712.

Along with a bandless AM/FM tuner and a multi-featured alarm system, it is architected for future upgrades via a USB port and packs a bass volume knob in the back. The real draw, though, is the removable remote control, which enhances the functionality of your iPod in several ways. Take a tour of the GEORGE, and find out whether it's worth the asking price, in this photo gallery. More »
