Solid product.......2007-12-13 It all sounds good. I dont have anything much to compare it to but I like it. Also the design is good--it feels solid and well constructed.
Best in Class.......2007-12-07 This product is AMAZING, but be careful there is a previous version of this equipment that has a few functional problem; but definitely this is not the case; it has a great sound and useful features, like the video out put and auxiliary connectivity so you can us other audio equipments. The FM/AM tuner is not the best, but good enough, buy it you won't regretted.
Not very impressed !!!!.......2007-11-26 I've had this system for a week and a half. I don't care for the fact that you don't have full ipod control which means you still have to interact with the ipod itself in order to select what you want. You can select playlists albeit very genericaly. The next complaint is that beatiful display doesn't show ipod information you have to look at the player itself. The final complaint is that this system has the worst fm tuner I've have ever seen, it won't even pull in the strongest stations. I did a side by side comparison with my 12 yr old Wave radio and the Bose gets every station clearly without an antenna. I even tried to be fair and get an amplified FM antenna and that didn't help and sometimes made it worse. Soundwise the Pure-Fi isn't bad at all but their are too many shortcomings and I can't deal with the radio thing. Another thing is why bother to include a clock with no alarm function. Unfortunately Logitech needs to go back to the drawing board.
Good for the price and features.......2007-11-17 This sound system has good sound for the price if you also want the am/fm radio. If the radio isn't important I would get the Griffin i-pod system which has INCREDIBLE sound.
One reason I bought this one was to also have am radio for the talk shows but the am reception on this is terrible even with the external antenna attached.
I like it but the sound on the Griffin spoiled me.
Great Ipod Dock, Rotten Radio, Good Deal as Currently Priced.......2007-11-08 The Pure Fi Elite is the Audiostation from last year with a few minor tweaks and a major quality control issue addressed, mainly the horrible button controls from the Audiostation that didn't work in the first few batches of that earlier product. The Audiostation units got a terrible rep (especially at Best Buy) and many retailers stopped carrying the product and / or steeply discounted it. The revised Elite is therefore hardly a great surprise, but be reassured that the button issue is now fixed.
The Elite's main strength is as an Ipod dock system, and it does a credible job here. The twin 4" woofers and 1" tweeters do a nice job of producing clear and well-differentiated sound, and the 80 watt power of the system means it will be able to get loud enough for most users. There is no distortion even at high volumes, but there is also virtually no stereo separation. The stereo expander DSP does very little, but doesn't hurt anything either. The stereo expander in Altec's IM600 is a lot more effective at increasing the soundfield.
Speaking of comparisons, the $130 Elite sounds roughly similar to the Griffin Amplifi ($100). The Griffin has better bass, while the Elite offers better treble detail. These tendencies are directly related to driver design, with the Amplifi's 2.75" drivers muddying treble a bit but with it's 5" woofer giving better bass extension that the Elite's 4 inch drivers. The Elite has a lot of extra features though and can get a bit louder. It also charges your Ipod even when turned off, a feature which the Griffin lacks. Both units have minimal stereo separation effect, and the Amplifi has no stereo DSP, while the Elite has one that barely works at all.
The Bose Sound Dock ($300 list) generally sounds a bit louder and stronger in mid-tones than the Elite. The bass sounds roughly comparable, and the Elite gets the edge in treble. The SoundDock has much better perceptible stereo separation and the remote also works more reliably and at longer distances, though the Elite has many more feature. The Elite also has a huge price difference, at least in "real world" prices.
The Elite has many unique features. The remote has access to both shuffle mode and up to 6 playlists. It does not offer full Ipod menu control, but unless you have the eyes of an eagle, you probably can't see the Ipod screen details from more than six feet away anyway. The Elite has a sleep timer, a video pass through for most Ipods, an auxiliary input jack, and adjustable bass and treble level. The remote is adequate with access to most features, and a pretty good range, though it needs to be aimed precisely.
What does the Elite lack? The radio sadly is a miserable effort, really an afterthought. The tuner is grade D quality and can barely tune in even strong FM stations and I could not get any AM at all. (This in NYC, admittedly a tough interference environment, but this hardly explains the incredibly bad tuning performance.) Even when you can tune in a station, the reception is usually not clear with annoying hiss and static bursts. A $20 clock radio can tune in more stations. My own Panasonic clock radio can indeed tune in far more stations more clearly, as can my stereo receiver, my Tivoli PAL, and my Sangean table radio. The Elite's tuner is truly incompetent in comparison. As far as dock radio combos, the Altec IM600s tuner is far far better, and the two units go for roughly the same price.
Because of the lame tuning capability, the RDS feature is rendered useless. To get RDS info, you need to have a strong clear FM signal, and the choppy tuning of the FM tuner on the Elite meant that I could get no RDS info at all from the stations in the area that broadcast that program info. Scratch one special feature!
Finally, the presence of a clock and the absence of an alarm indicates feature stripping by Logitech to make sure that you need to spend extra money to get their separate overpriced Ipod clock radio. Not sticking a basic alarm function in a >$100 system which already has a clock is just pure cynical "product differentiation" of the most annoying sort.
Anyway, if you want a decent performance Ipod dock, the good detailed and amply loud sound of the Elite recommends it. The terrible radio tuner will frustrate and disappoint those who want a multi-function unit, and the lack of stereo separation in the sound is an expected though unfortunate deficit. This is definitely a better bargain than the Bose SoundDock, but the Amplifi is a tough competitor, especially since the radio function on the Elite is so poorly implemented. The Griffin has a somewhat less loud sound though richer bass, and is also about 20% cheaper. The Amplifi sounds better with rock and electronic music. The Elite is more stylish and has a few more useful features on the remote like Shuffle and Playlist and also sounds better with classical and acoustic music.
One caution though: the list for the Elite is in theory $300, and paying anywhere near that level would quickly evaporate any of the Elite's advantages. Get the Elite for $150 and you'll be happy, but pay $200 or more and you will probably be paying more than the system is worth, especially with the Griffin consistently selling at or near the $120 price point.

Quite a bargain........2007-12-21 I needed I stereo reciever for my garage. Nothing too fancy or expensive. This fit the bill. I would not have this as my primary unit in my home, as it's 'bare bones". But it's just what I was looking for. Works well, sounds fine, great price.
Satisfied.......2007-01-04 I needed a receiver to drive 2 pairs of speakers. I have 1 pair in the house and 1 pair on my deck. The receiver is in the house. The deck side I installed an IF receiver to control the receiver with the supplied remote. The ability to switch speakers on the remote was exaly what I was looking for. Thanks.
You will not find a better 2 channel receiver for the price........2005-11-05 Purchased the Sherwood RX-4103 receiver from J & R Music in New York City on-line here at Amazon.com and I must say I am quite pleased. I even received an e-mail with the UPS tracking number and website allowing me to track the package as it was being shipped to me. J & R Music promised the receiver via UPS today and they delivered. The stereo is everything I thought it would be and more. The sound quality is crisp and clean, with no noticeable distortion, and each pair of speaker outlets even has it's own amplifier. 105 watts per channel X 2 channels, but there are outlets (and amplifiers) for 4 speakers. The AM/FM tuner comes with a pair of antennea (one for each band) and the signal reception is quite good considering my location. The remote control will allow you to program and listen to 30 different radio stations which can then be scanned and listened to for 5 seconds each at the touch of a button; and then another touch halts the scan on the station playing the song you like. You can also adjust the treble and bass with the remote control, not to mention adjust the volume (there's even a mute button), the balance, and, believe it or not, activate a sleep timer for 10,20,30,40,50,60, or 90 minutes. There are also PLENTY of RCA jacks in the back of this black monster to hook up a cd/dvd player, cassette deck, VCR, and/or TV. You could even connect an i-pod or your computer's sound to the back of the amp, if you have the proper cables for your external devices. All in all, a lot of receiver for not a lot of money. I would highly recommend the Sherwood RX-4103 stereo receiver and J & R Music in New York City, purchased over the web, right here at Amazon.com.
Just average.......2003-11-04 This is an OK 2 channel reciever, however, the KLH R-3100, which is also 100 watts per channel, seems to have much better audio quality for about the same price.
static equipment damage hazzard.......2002-12-11 My receiver worked fine until I started adjustng the FM wire loop antenna. One end of the 'T' touched the TV screen, where static electricity is always present to some degree. I heard a small snap sound, like when my hand touches the screen (no current so it is not hazzardous to your health), and the receiver stopped receiving the station I was tuned to, and from there on only picked up one station. Not only that, but my directv RCA receiver box to which the receiver is connected via audio cables failed and I had to buy another one, along with returning this receiver for a replacement. Considerng other reviews here, I would dinitely not recommend buying this receiver, even if the price is low.
