Logitech has introduced its Pure-Fi Elite speaker system for iPod, a “high-performance” stereo with digital AM/FM tuner that is quite similar to the company’s well-received AudioStation system. The Pure-Fi Elite packs two-way satellites, 1-inch dome tweeters, and 4-inch high-power, long-throw woofers in its 16-inch wide, 7.25-inch tall, and 4.25-inch deep 8-pound cabinet. Features include an LCD screen that displays digital clock or radio station information, an advanced remote control, integrated Universal Dock, auxiliary-in jack, composite and S-Video output, and the ability to charge the iPod when it’s docked in the system. The Logitech Pure-Fi Elite will be available this October and will sell for $300.

I know that a lot of buyers had serious problems with the original AudioStation’s control panel, but if you’re willing to wager that you’ll get a perfect one out of the box, you can order it from J&R, via Amazon.com, for only $130 right now.

I should also point out that the Logitech site lists $249.99, not $300, as the price for the new PureFi.

Flippy,
Actually, Logitech lists the Pure-Fi Dream at $249.99 - the Pure-Fi Elite has yet to appear on the site.

Ah, I see the distinction now. Thanks, Charles.

Does anyone know if this will work with the ipod classic and it locking the video output?
