For a stereo, the Wall of Sound isn't massive. But for an iPod dock, it's gargantuan.

Pitched as "the world's most powerful iPod speaker," the Wall of Sound is a $4,500, handcrafted iPod dock with a stocky 3x4-foot frame that weighs in at 225 pounds.

As for the sound itself, the 125W system promises a frequency response of 40Hz to 20kHz that will provide "graceful mids and crystal clear highs," according to the product's Web site. It's also purportedly "for people who believe that music should be listened to loudly."

I could turn my wall in my house into a giant speaker. :) I'd prefer a TV and a surround sound system with small but powerful speakers.

Evidently it's hard for iPodian designers to understand the efficacy of satellite speaker systems.

Gee, I guess I would need two of them for that true stereo effect!

What an incredible piece of work! I'd like to have 7 of these with a massive (24") downfiring, ported sub! I live in an apartment, and I'd bet I'd be asked to vacate on a very immediate basis!
