Pros: Ease of use and flexibility Cons: A bit pricey
"I have been listening to my "George" since I got it out of the box 10 hours ago. The ease of set-up and use is a breath of fresh air. Electronics aren't necessarily easy to set-up and get used to particular manufacturer's quirks.
George's set-up is logical and easy.
The features are dynamite. The alarm clock feature has more features than my old alarm clock that I just stored away.
Chestnut Hill offers updates through their website. George's sound is great and the remote is completely more functional both in readability and flexibility than any I've used.
I was hesitant to spend $500. on a small system since I already have a large one, but I can crank up George, and still not bug the neighbors while getting a great sound. I now know that because of its sound, portability, and versatility, I will be using George more than my component system. I am very happy with this system."

George is the Best Ever
04/18/2008
By rheachifrom Sandpoint Idaho
Pros: Sound, usability, service Cons: none
"I purchased this about 8 months ago -- and LOVE it!!! I am not literate when it comes to using remotes and it was easy for me to use the remote on George. I had just purchased my iPod, and since they both work basically the same, it was soooo easy. And the sound is GREAT. Then, just recently, I had a problem with it not synching my iPod. I emailed customer service and within 15 minutes I heard back from them. Their customer service is AMAZING. They did everything humanly possible to get George fixed for me, including having it shipped from Idaho to Boston and back on them -- WOW, if all customer service was like this!!! I love my George and am excited that he is back for me to listen to. He is on continuously at my house. Thanks Chestnut Hill for making an amazing product and for such great customer service!"

george is my favorite audio
04/16/2008
By Anonymous Reviewerfrom philadelphia
Pros: exceptional sound, easy to use, very versatile
"i've been using a george for several months now, and have not been more impressed with an audio component for quite some time. i use it with my ipod, radio and even my xm unit (yes that can be done). i use it to wake up with, when i go to sleep and whenever i'm near it during the day. even my wife can use it easily. i'd highly recommend this in place of virtually any similar devices i've looked at. it's worth the price."

YOU HAVE TO GET ONE!

By 2infinitifrom boston
Pros: IPOD DISPLAY SCREEN ON REMOTE Cons: NONE
"I was going to get a Bose instead of this but I'm glad I gave this a shot. I never thought I'd use this as much as I do. The sound is crystal clear and quite loud. I set the alarm to any song on my ipod-the remote is like having a wireless ipod-it does everything and it has a nice backlight-if you buy this you will not be the slightest disappointed. It really is a great product."

Great Product & Company
01/30/2008
By gordytfrom Houston, TX
Pros: big sound, compact form factor, excellent user interface Cons: none
"I've got nothing but good to say about this unit. The sound quality is great. I use the iPod interface, the AM/FM receiver, and have an XM-Radio plugged into the AUX input.
The user interface is easy and intuitive. And the system's firmware is upgradable via a USB interface to your Mac or Windows machine.
Lastly, customer service at Chestnut Hill Sound is great! One of my parrots chewed up the USB data cable. I emailed customer support, on a Sunday, and had a response back from a live person within 15 minutes. They replaced my data cable at no charge."

George
01/30/2008
By amadorjfrom Albuquerque, NM
Pros: Great sound from a small footprint; easy to use remote Cons: None so far
"I first read about the George in one of the MacWorld best of show reviews last year. At that time I was interested in the Bose iPOD player as well as the Apple system. After reading the review and raves from MacWorld I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm glad I did. First the fact that I have a remote with all the music on display like my iPOD at my fingertips is great. The great sound quality is the highlight of this system. Has the sound of a large system but the footprint of a small unit. The ease of switching iPODs is quick and fast. When my son comes over to visit he removes my iPOD and puts his on the dock and with a short time is playing his music. Overall I'm very pleased with this unit. Everyone who sees it wants to know where they can get one. I highly recommend it to anyone considering the Apple and Bose alternative."
