Neither man, the Klipsch iFi's are nothing more than glorified ProMedia 2.1s with an iPod dock attached. The Bose SoundDock, well, its just a piece of crap.

ProMedia 2.1 for $150, maybe $30 more for an iPod dock, or iFi 2.1 for $400? You make the choice buddy.

Shoo.

You're right, Bose is way out of Klipsch's league! :p

I was in an exam.

I'm also going to be away from the computer for a few days, so I might not get a chance to check into AT for a while :Q.

Honestly, go listen to both and see what you like better, but it's probably going to be the Klipsch set.

They are both crap. IF the OP is getting one for free, which he said (???) then it's an obvious decision. Klipsch

LOL, how idiotic.

The IFI uses $250 sats, the refrence line RSX-3 sats and the subwoofer is also completly different. It matches perfectly with the sats.

The RSX-3's will sound much better than the $25 sats Klipsch uses on their 2.1's and 5.1's, not to say those sound bad.

It's not that Bose is crap it's just overpriced, cheaply made, and bright sounding; but when you asked "price not a factor" I'd assumed the Bose would be the pricey ones. Definitely get the Klipsh between the two.
