Philips MCD708 Micro Sound System

Although we may seem completely enamored with iPod-specific sound systems, we still have a special place in our hearts for well designed, stylish mini-systems. The Philips MCD708 Micro Sound System ($180) features super-stylish real rosewood speakers and a clean metal-and-glass component stack that includes a DVD player. Whether it's for the board room or the dorm room, the 708 and its 100W of power will keep things looking — and sounding — great.
