Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) is a company I hadn't heard of until I saw their Zeppelin in an Apple store one day.  I dug a bit and found out that they make cream of the crop, audiophile-appeasing equipment of all types.  The Zeppelin is an iPod dock that also takes USB-in, and will fill a huge room with beautiful sound.  As with all B&W products, you don't want to play MP3's through the Zeppelin, though, as the Zeppelin produces music so true to the recording that you will hear and be distracted by the MP3's inherent compression-related imperfections.  Instead, use HD-AAC or other lossless formats like FLAC or ALAC.  

B&W just released their P-5 headphones, as well as their MM-1 near-field computer speakers.  When Wired magazine reviewed the P-5s, they for the first time ever said that their $200 rule should be broken (i.e., that even though these headphones cost more than $200, they were an excellent buy).  Both the P-5 and MM-1 are works of art as well as the best headphones and computer speakers I've ever used, respectively.  The same warning applies about playing MP3s through these beauties.  B&W has a "Society of Sound" through which you can download lossless (24-bit FLAC or 16-bit ALAC) versions of a wide variety of interesting music, and you get a complimentary 3 months of membership with each B&W device you purchase. After you hear 24-bit music through the P-5s, it'll be hard to go back.  You will probably want to go back through your old CD collection and re-encode all of your music in lossless (instead of MP3) format.
