A sharp-looking all-in-one iPod speaker system with a mechanized front dock and the ability to send and receive audio wirelessly using Klipsch's proprietary 2.4GHz KlipschCast standard. Includes Infrared remote control and unique hideaway power supply....

Doesn't deliver a wireless audio experience right out of the box ; requires purchase of second KlipschCast-ready audio device, such as a second RoomGroove, in order to take advantage of wireless feature. Each RoomGroove unit depends on power outlet and...

Fast, lossless wireless network ; Superb sound in the mid and high ranges ; Very simple to set up wireless network

Motorised iPod tray seems pointless ; Bass handling could be better ; Expensive to build a wireless network

iPod speaker system with wireless "KlipschCast" that allows it to link one or more RoomGroove speakers for multiroom operation ; Relatively rich sound ; Clean-cut design

Nice form factor; Easy to set-up; Sounds great; KlipschCast function

You need a second (or third) RoomGroove to take full advantage of the product; Just an iPod dock if you only purchase one RoomGroove
