new challenger!

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.

iPod Dock Bracket FINALE, Altec Lansing IMV712 vs. Griffin Amplifi

"One cannot live while the other survives."
- J.K. Rowling

It's been what feels like three years in the making, but the final fight in our iPod Dock Battlemodo begins now. The $150 Griffin Amplifi is our budget contender, going face to face against the posh $350 Altec Lansing IMV712. And with that long of a model number, you know it's gotta be good.

But only one will leave this ring coffee table alive.

Latest by Galley: The Tango looks good, but it has equalization issues, meaning you have to adjust the EQ whenever you change the volume. The Amplifi does not have that problem. True, it does not have any tone controls, but more »

iPod Bracket Update, Elite 8ish

After the first round of our iPod Dock Bracket competition, here are the winners who will be moving on to fight another day.

Apple Hi-Fi Vs. Altec Lansing IMV712

Today, as our two most expensive units battle, marks the close of our first round of iPod Dock Battlemodo. First, we have the $349 Apple Hi-Fi. It's the Chosen System, blessed by the hands of Steve Jobs himself. And while it's late on the scene, that allowed Apple a chance to learn from the mistakes of other manufacturers. But the Hi-Fi has some tough competition in the $349 Altec Lansing IMV712. It's a dock with a secret weapon...an 8.5" screen. Who will win the battle? More »
