iPod docking station

Looking at iPod speakers for daughter (10) for Christmas, she has an iPod Nano 7th generation which has lightning connector.
Anyone on here any ideas as to a decent one, I have an original Apple speaker on my PC but she's not having it and they don't seem to do them anymore.

I had mine side by side with the Bose unit when bought but proffered the sound of the Apple device.

Any help or pointers gratefully received Thumbs Up

We are running a Nano not sure what version on a Klipsch iGroove HD its mains only but I rate it as good as a Bose unit, had it 2 years no issues, well used iPhones frequently in & out of it also.

Hmm, lets say £200, it looks like its going to cost £25 for a darn adaptor, seems that Apple have brought out lightning and yet nothing fits it Confused

Is there mileage in looking at micro/mini hifi rather than a dock, she has some CD's?

Think you may hit the same issue, not a lot of gear out there specifically for Nano 7, although the Bluetooth is great for wireless headphones.

Or a good amp with speakers, if you can't dock due to the port, and need an adapter the might as well make it a lead and a hifi Thumbs Up
