Roth Audio ALFiE Integrated 2.1 Speaker System with DVD, CD, and iPod Dock (Black/Silver)

Welcome to Roth Audio�s AFLiE. The ALFiE combines all facets of the audio visual world into one sleek, beautiful piece. The integrated iPod dock means the entertainment hub is ready and waiting for your Apple portable�s tunes, while the rear panel�s auxiliary-in socket means you can swiftly hook-up any MP3 player. CDs, of course, are catered for � including recordable discs � while movie fans can drop in a DVD, letting ALFiE provide vision as well as sound. Happy to lounge in any room in the house, the Roth Audio system�s radio alarm and bundled remote control mean ALFiE is especially designed for the office or bedroom application. Where ever you envision this piece within your home, you can rely on Roth Audio to supply high-quality sound and vision. The unit�s built-in audio engine is no slouch, powering out a total of 40 watts, and using a 2.1 amplifier and speaker combination to provide room-filling sound. Sneak a peek under its chassis, and you realize the use of an ever-so-clever downward-firing subwoofer helps beef-up the tracks, while allowing ALFiE to maintain its trim figure. Adjustable bass and treble means you can control your ALFiE specifically to your preference; tone down � or tone up for that matter � depending on your mood. Naturally, for a machine from the tune-loving people that created the sublime-sounding Music Cocoon MC4, this unit doesn�t just pound out a big sound, it also presents a beautiful sound. No home entertainment system is complete � though more than a few claim to be � without support for DVD. So whether you invite Freddy into your bedroom, Shrek into your playroom, ALFiE�s selection of video outputs provide sharp images, while the 2.1 sound engine backs up the pictures with thrilling movie effects and soundtracks. Combined with your preferred TV this stand alone unit will provide all audio and video playback you desire.

Customer Reviews
Performs as advertised; nice design ; fun to use, January 25, 2009
By Vandelay Rules (Queens, NY)
Not being an extreme audiophile, I was slightly apprehensive about how this system would perform and if it would match up to our old multi-component system. So far so good! Plus the ability to use it as our primary DVD player is a nice added bonus.

We are using as the main stereo in our living room (medium size room in an apartment) and it is sufficient. The iPod dock works great with our "old" iPod mini. The CD/DVD function works well as does the Video Out (using old RCA composite port not component; we have an old TV), Aux in, and FM tuner. The AM tuner has not been that good- there is an audible hissing sound even with the "Talk" feature on the remote enabled (though that feature does improve it a bit). So other than the AM tuner, we have been pleased, and didn't have to spend an arm an leg as with the Bose stuff...

Finally, I have to admit the system is quite cute and cuddly while being slick. Alfie is our friend.

Cheers.
