We're looking at the Bose SoundDock or Altec Lansing IM7 speakers for our iPods. We want something that will provide nice sound for an area about 1200sqft. (Kitchen, Dining, Parlor)
Anyone have thoughts on these? Or have a better solution?

If your house is wired with speakers already in those rooms, just get an adapter that allows you to plug your iPod into your home stereo. You could also look into buying wireless speakers for your existing system and placing them in the rooms where you want the music, then hook your iPod into your home stereo.
The Bose SoundDock has awesome sound, but a hefty price tag for something that can only play your iPod. It is also small and easily portable.
It just comes down to personal preference, really. If you're looking for a simple solution and aren't concerned about cost, the SoundDock is a wonderful idea. But there are other ways.

Better than getting speakers only for iPods, get something that works for any audio device. I have been using Creative SoundBlasters for my iPod and i also use it for other music devices like a PSP, a CD player or even an old Cassette player.
