I purchased my unit in July, 2008. Have had it approx. 1 month now w/ no regrets. Research-wise, I did the things shoppers typically do. Went to the major electronic stores, plugged my nano into the available offerings (of which there were quite a few), and was generally very disappointed in the less than desireable sounds (absence of decent bass and barely adequate treble) emanating from the units priced between $80 - $150. The Bose system was significantly better, but at $300 it had better be. I wrote off those other systems costing over $300, thinking there MUST be something that provides greater value for my dollars.
I spent several hours on-line sifting thru reviews (those here at Amazon, and at other reputable audio review sites). One item kept popping up w/ very positive reviews, the Pure-Fi Elite.
During my research it appeared that the reason this unit doesn't appear on the major electronic stores' shelves, may have had something to do w/ it's predecessor's issues w/ faulty control buttons. Issues that seemed to have been resolved w/ this model.
While normally reluctant to buy an electronic device w/out having test driven it first, the overwhelmingly positive reviews given at multiple sites led me to take a chance and go for it.
My findings:
*The bass produced by the 4" woofers is FAR better than those $150 units that I test drove at the stores. I find the bass to be comparable to that of the $300 Bose. And I do like the fact that you can easily adjust the treble and bass to your liking.
*Despite an earlier review referring to a "bad smell" when first removed from the box, I failed to notice any repugnant smell. Nor did my son (whose sense of smell falls just short of that of a bloodhound run out of the room crying foul.)
*The power block is relatively large (just short of being the size of a brick), but it doesn't weigh anything near what a brick weighs. The block sits in the middle of two relatively long cords that lead to the power source and the unit itself -- which allowed me to hide same behind a small piece of bedroom furniture, so I never notice it.
Set-up was easy, the remote works very well. I like the fact that the unit is relatively heavy as compared to the other units I tried out (offtimes the additional weight can be attributed to heavier magnets that make up the woofers -- a good thing). It more than adequately fills my 20x20 bedroom w/ non-distorted sound.
In short, I am very pleased w/ this unit. Performance and reliability has been great, and on a price/value scale, this unit definitely surpasses the others. Now if I can just keep my boys from borrowing this unit from me I'll be alright.

This unit has sound that is a pretty close second to the bose system in my book, but about half the price and with many more features. The bose lacks a radio and a clock, which the Logitech has. The logitech has a better (more features and backlit) remote as well. Biggest downside is a large clunky power brick (the bose may have one, too. I'm not sure).
Great Sound June 23, 2008

I think this product is best in it's class. The bass is great and the remote works flawlessly. The price is very fair.

We bought the Logitech Pure-Fi Elite for use on our back deck. It had high ratings for sound quality and we are very satisfied with what we have heard. We listen to a wide range of music and listening outdoors we don't expect concert hall sound. Even at low volume levels we have had no complaints.
The Pure-Fi Elite works well with both my video iPod and my wife's older classic iPod. The Pure-Fi Elite also had other features we were looking for -- AM/FM radio and a clock.
If I had any issues it would be with the remote control which has somewhat limited range, perhaps 8 feet, and requires direct line of sight to the unit. While the remote has only basic features for controlling the iPods, these features are sufficient for our use.
This is not meant to be a portable unit and the weight of the base unit is an indication of its quality construction. But we do need to move it inside when we are not using it. The base unit itself is okay, but the A/C power adapter is very large, about 1/2 the size of a brick and every bit as heavy. The included power cords from the base unit to the adapater and from the adapter to the outlet are long.
Also, in order to pick up any AM reception for baseball games (Go Cubs Go), we have to use the included external 'hoop' antenna. Without it we can't pick up even strong local stations. With the antenna, the reception is fine, but it is one more thing to carry and the long antenna wire can get tangled with the power cords.
All in all, we are very satisfied with our purchase. Sound quality is the most important feature and we are completely satisfied there.
Great Speaker system! June 15, 2008

I did a lot of research before I bought this speaker set, and cnet rated it the best so I got it. Totally worth it. Adjustable bass and treble, brightness, serves as an alarm clock with songs choosable from an iPod. I also used the ayx slot to hook up the speakers to my computer, which is cool as well. Remote works great, cool glow in the dark orange at night. All and all a superb system
