5 of the best new iPad (iPad 3) speaker docks

Libratone Live

£600, libratone.com
How many times have you wished for a dock clad in Italian cashmere? If you’re anything like us, the long wait is finally over. The AirPlay-enabled Live is meant to stand upright – which is what our hair also did when we saw the price.

Chic doesn’t come cheap, though, and the Live does come with a nifty app that lets you apply EQ presets and even tell the Live where it’s sitting in a room, so it can adjust its sound accordingly. It's certainly loud: with 150W of power on tap, it’ll fill even a medium-sized room pretty easily.
