OH MY GOD IT'S BEAUTIFUL - THE MARANTZ CONSOLETTE iPOD DOCK

Richersounds.ie: John

Boardies - I saw this product last year at a Marantz launch and I completely fell in love with it and posted about it on Boards at the time in raptures..

Its quite simply the best ipod dock / Streamer there is...

When I saw it first it was predicted to launch at £999.95 and I still really wanted one - the retail has subsequently been reduced to £899.95 and until the end of March to celebrate Marantz's 60th Anniversary its (just) £699.95.. £639.95 / €789.99


I guess the most striking thing about it is the way it looks - it really is a top end quality piece of kit - The moment you see it, you know it is something special. The front panel and controls are fashioned from metal and the rear sculpted from genuine lacquered walnut wood. The retractable docking tray, Gyro control wheel and selection buttons are all engineered to feel solid and confident. While the elegant porthole and its iconic Marantz starburst confirm that you are in the presence of true craftsmanship - added to this - it's not an ordinary little Dock - it's a big piece of kit..


However the looks are not the most striking thing - actually the sound quality is even more striking!


With 150 watts of power it effortlessly creates a panoramic stereo image with a a rich and deep bass performance. And because the “reference quality” tuning is designed by the legendary Ken Ishiwata, every detail is reflected with pin-point accuracy. It gives you wireless audio streaming from any iOS device or iTunes library as well as Android devices and any other network stored media on your PC, Mac or NAS – either wirelessly or directly. It also gives you both a Line-In and a USB port too. A Premium remote controller is included, but already there is an App for the iDevices and Androids. verything is in place. Why wait a second more, the audiophile Dock is here and it goes by the name of Consolette.







It comes in either white or black finish 



But I think the white looks much more luxurious..


It has built in internet radio, remote control and of course Wi-Fi is standard.


We have it available in stock and ready to ship ..

...I never thought I would say that £699.95 £639.95 was a good deal for an iPOD dock - but it's really great value at that price.
