Altec Lansing

Now let's talk about how to get the most out of your IPODs! The brand new inMotion iM9 is Altec Lansing's latest portable speaker system. The iM9 was designed for the active, outdoor lifestyle. Rugged, yet refined, it's great for indoor use, too. I must say that I was quite impressed with this unit; the sound was crisp and clear at high volume levels. The suggested retail price is 199$.

Any sound that can be played by the existing speakers on a PC can be wirelessly streamed using the WMB54G. The product works as a virtual sound card that connects to a stereo or speaker system via traditional audio cables or optical digital connectors. Retail price of this product is 99$
