This unique iPod docking station combines a home for your media player with a powerful tube-based amplifier.

Bearing more than a passing resemblance to Yamaha’s YSP line of home theater surround systems, this new Marantz ES7001 Sound Bar is designed to produce a fully-immersive home theater experience with a single box.
