This is your lucky freaking day, even though I should just shoot you by now for asking 100 times (I’m kidding), Klipsch announced last night that they are selling off iFi refurbs for 200 bucks on ebay. These are like-new units that have been returned for simply reasons like the battery issue. I bought a refurb from klipsch once and it was brand new, even smell new, so I'm sure each one of these are cosmetically flawless or nearly so.

There was 22 last night when I first checked

www.ebay.com

item #
5827816185

There are only 11 now.
They will be gone tomorrow or soon after.


btw, I bought 3 more, 2 as gifts and 1 for another room in the house. This is 200 below retail and 100 below cost (what bestbuy or compusa or apple pays)

So according to what you asked:

Price 100 to 150, maybe 200 if its really good. (CHECK)
Dock iPod and possible connection to a Cd player (CHECK)
Black if possible (Neg - but they are at least Silver)
Most importantly a remote definetly a remote (CHECK++ its an RF 50-100feet!)
Good sound (CHECK++ BETTER THAN ANYTHING YOU CAN FIND FOR THIS PRICE)

you are crazy to not buy this now!

Also, after what i just said, no one else should be posting in this topic. There is nothing better atm. END THREAD HERE!

This is what he wanted:


*Price 100 to 150, maybe 200 if its really good. (CHECK)

*Dock iPod and possible connection to a Cd player (NO)

*Black if possible (NO)

*Most importantly a remote definetly a remote (NO)

*Good sound (NO)



Nothing is black and the only two with good sound are the iDock and iFi. And the iFi a lot better than the iDock and is 150 dollars cheaper online for about 4-5 more hours until they are GONE.


I feel as if I’m trying to convince someone a circle is round and failing!

dude, there are 4 left.

tell your parents to buy this now or else they will have spend twice as much later, OR end up with something for the about the same price thats 20 times worse.

you do realize how big of a deal this is?

basically for under 200 you have the

JBL On Stage II with Remote
Altec Lansing IM3c
Altec Lansing inMotion iM5 Mobile
Logitech mm50 Portable

now unless you want to get multimedia speakers without the ipod dock then you have some better options, but the iFi still KILLS even those solutions

Ok, get something else, anything else.

I really don’t give a ####, I told you the best option and you ignored me. Now I’m ####ed and for all I care, you deserve to waste your money on a lesser product.
