Blue Raven Technologies has introduced its Maestro 1070 iPod speaker system. It features 70 watts of total power, a five-inch center subwoofer, two three-inch speakers, and an Universal iPod Dock. The 18-pound Maestro 1070 iPod speaker system retails for $199.

The Monster Wireless Audio Bridge is the cool gadget that coverts the iPod into a remote control. The device wirelessly broadcasts the audio stream from the player to the base station, which hooks-on to your home stereo. The base station has a Bang & Olufsen-style design, and Monster claims that the 2.4GHz wireless system works at ranges up to 30 feet.
