Pure Avanti Flow

We’re often asked to recommend a docking station for iPod lovers. I know from our clients experience that the unit most people end up investing in the Bose. Why?
Well, they sound pretty good. The sound can also be ramped up without significant distortion while sounding good at low volumes. Bose has a good name and if you’re a bit of a techie their adverts make great play of some voodoo around how their speakers work. And its a safe choice, the big kids in the playground won’t beat you up when they’ve bought the same box.
These thoughts were in my mind a couple of weeks ago as I stood in John Lewis in Bluewater to decide which iPod docking system I should buy. Of course the Bose unit was there and I was tempted. But I browsed around and found the Pure Avanti Flow, which is how I invested my pocket money. How is it in practice?
First, the sound is great. It has a deep, rounded sound, good detail and it will go very loud. As does the Bose you say. But ... the Pure has a digital radio built in, it will access the internet (brilliant for me, I love internet radio) plus you can stream music from your Mac / PC onto the Pure.
I’ve been very happy with the Pure and I’d recommend it to anyone. A week ago we went to Swaffham in Norfolk for the weekend and found the radio in the room was made by Bose. My opinion was reinforced, the Bose is really good but I think the Pure Avanti is better.
