Three Stereo Systems for Dorm Rooms

George iPod Radio

The George Radio from Chestnut Hill Sound is not just an iPod docking station, but also an alarm clock and a tabletop AM/FM radio with a slick multi-function remote control that controls all the functions of the system, including the iPod. It's an affordable system and great for a dorm room because it doesn't take much space and great sound. Read my full review of the George Radio and click on the link to check out prices.

Yamaha / Polk Audio Stereo System

For about $700 this Yamaha receiver and CD/DVD player with Polk Audio speakers is a great sounding dorm system. It's performance matched and the individual components can be purchased online for less than $700 - read my profile of the system.

This high-performance system is a network receiver with two speakers that features Pioneer’s Home Media Gallery for enjoying entertainment sources such as Internet Radio, streaming audio from a networked PC or music stored on an MP3 player or a USB thumb drive and is XM and Sirius Satellite Radio Ready. It will also play CD and SACD discs. Its built-in clock and timer are ideal for a dorm room.
