CNET Australia have nominated their favourite iPod Speaker Docks, and the Maestro speaker dock has been chosen as the best value option. Here's what CNET.com.au's Alexandra Savvides had to say:
'There's a smorgasbord of speaker docks available to iPod (and iPhone) owners that choosing one from the pack can be a little tricky. Some will sound like your music is echoing out of the cardboard box the player came in, while others will sound excellent but cost a small fortune.
…The Maestro does a lot of things right for its AU$189.95 asking price. It produces good sound and is cross-compatible with a range of iPods and iPhones…'
It seems that they love the Maestro in Australia. Australian magazine ZOO Weekly also gave it a glowing review:
'The lovely staff at Cygnett sent ZOO Man the very first pair of speakers to hit Australia to test out over the weekend, and test he did. With a massive house party planned we were skeptical as to whether such a small speaker box could create enough wattage to satisfy our loud rock cravings, but the Maestro speakers blew us away. Hell they were even louder than my actual house stereo – which has now been returned to the back shed.
The Cygnett Maestro speakers are so small you can move them from room-to-room with no hassle whatsoever, the dock has size plates so no matter what iPod or iPhone you have you're sorted, but the most impressive thing about these speakers is the fact that it can be run off of mains power or by plugging in 4x AA batteries. Like most battery powered speakers we were expecting the speakers to fade after an hour of loud volume, but the speakers and batteries lasted out the whole long weekend and haven't dropped in quality whatsoever.
These have to be the most portable, loudest, most affordable, coolest mp3 speakers on the market. They're easily the loudest/best portable speakers we've ever come across.'
