Great Sound and Function, September 14, 2009
Good Clock Radio IPOD Player, September 12, 2009Best On The Market, June 8, 2009amazing, February 8, 2009Pros: Great remote interface, works with ipod touch/iphone, amazing sound and bass, looks amazing.
Cons: Remote is a little big but not that big of a deal, and if you dont buy it your not that smart.
Great Sound And Control, November 13, 2008The product is beautiful and most of all it has great and a descent bass compared to some ipod dock within it's price range. It has a good bass compared to the bose. The control is almost just like the ipod… (Easy and portable). The only setback I have so far is the remote hangs-up sometimes when i browse especially setting up the alarm. And I hope they have hardware support especially for the remote(I browse a lot) And i hope they also supply batteries for the next 10 years........

CNET editor David Carnoy gives the George accolades and declares that the sound quality is in a class of its own. Carnoy also likes the inventive remote control, upgradeable firmware, AM/FM clock radio with dual alarms and 24 presets. However, Carnoy questions the George's lofty price tag and critiques the sound quality, saying "it doesn't handle heavy bass all that well."

Jeremy Horwitz deems the George worthy of its price tag and the clear-cut leader in sound among iPod speaker systems currently on the market. Contrary to the CNET review, iLounge.com states that "bass and midrange performance are especially impressive." Horwitz mentions the lack of some advanced features but says that most users won't know what they're missing.

Macworld also gives the George very high reviews. The only downside that's mentioned in this review is the high price, but MacWorld, like other reviewers, determines the George to be worth the money.

Laptop Magazine raves about the George's sound quality, and Fischer says that the innovative remote is perhaps its biggest selling point. Fischer, who has virtually no complaints about the speaker dock, ultimately gives the George an Editors' Choice award and claims it's "hands-down the best iPod speaker dock money can buy."
Review: Chestnut Hill Sound George, Russ Fischer
Similar to the Laptop Magazine review, PCMag.com primarily discusses the George's positive features, such as its impeccable sound quality. Reviewer Tim Gideon also gives the George an Editors' Choice award and calls it the "king of the iPod dock mountain." However, Gideon does say that the speakers are a bit "plain looking."
