Product Description The Grand Scale home stereo system is CTA's top of the line speaker system for the iPod. It features two satellite speakers each pumping two 2-inch high fidelity speakers and a dome tweeter that are enclosed in a sound chamber designed to maximize sound output. The heart of the sound is produced by an 8-inch high powered subwoofer which has a maximum output of 150 watts. Everything is controlled by the center console either by its manual controls or by the full function remote. The remote can play, pause, stop, forward, reverse, skip, change play modes as well as adjust the volume, treble, bass and mids. The stand has a cable management system to prevent lose wires and provide an attractive appearance to compliment any room setting. The base can be utilized by either placing it on the stand or on a shelf for optimal flexibility. The Grand Scale will work with any iPod with a dock connector including the new iPod with Video and nano.

I took a leap of faith with this product even though some of the reviews I read were not good. This product looks great! However, one of the channels did not work. It cost me $61 to ship it back and 2 weeks to get a refund.
Excellent system,November 24, 2006 I had no trouble installing the system in my house. We put in the Ipod and it work right off the bat. So far we have nothing but good things to say about this system. We are very pleased with it's performance.
A regretful purchase!November 7, 2006 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The product was faulty. The first stereo system made a "fuzzing" noise while the music played. The next two replacement systems made a faint "beeping" noise every half a second. While you couldn't hear the beeping noise if the music was loud enough, you could hear it through quieter songs and between songs. Amazon then suggested that I deal with CTA directly, who were the company that produced the stereo. Due to my experience with CTA, I would not recommend buying any product made by CTA. Not only was the stereo system of inferior quality, but I wasted a lot of time attempting to deal with CTA, and in the end, they did not provide a satisfactory solution to the problem. CTA did not reply to my request for a mailing label to return their faulty docking station. (I was not requesting a refund from CTA as money had only been exchangd with Amazon. I merely wanted to return the extra docking station to them without incurring the shipping charges). This final display of apathy epitomizes their lack of professionalism, and is also indicative of the quality and value they place on their own products. When I contacted Amazon again and informed them of my less than satisfactory dealings with CTA, they resolved the problem by agreeing to a full refund.

The 5.1 channel home-theater-in-a-box system features five tiny speakers - each about the size of a golf ball. The system, matched with a compact, single disc DVD/CD player/receiver, includes a unique subwoofer that helps the tiny speakers create sounds typically reserved for full size speakers.
While the system features small speakers, it packs all the power of conventional home theater-in-a-box systems with 450 watts of total system power (satellite speakers 50W x 5, plus 2-way subwoofer 100W x 2). The system is specially tuned to deliver a natural sound field that takes the focus off the subwoofer while supplementing mid range and lower frequencies.
