More than one billion Apple iTunes will be downloaded before the year’s end by over 15 million iPod owners. That should be music to the ears of speaker manufacturers that make iPod accessories.

Surprisingly, however, the popularity of iPods has not had a significant impact on the home audio market yet. That’s because the only iPod-compatible speakers available have been lower-performing, travel-type speakers until now.

Enter the Klipsch iFi-the first iPod speaker system to deliver the same high-quality sound as a home stereo. The iFi (pronounced I-fi) includes two audiophile-quality satellite speakers, a subwoofer for deep bass, a dock to hold your iPod, a remote control and speaker wire. The new Klipsch iFi speaker system is hitting store shelves now and costs about $399.00. Visit www.klipsch.com/ifi for more information
