That is good but it is really superfluous for my requirements.

Thanks. That's helpful. It's a start.

I am looking for some quality basic speakers for a desktop PC. Nothing fancy, just for Skype and basic PC use, perhaps playing the odd youtube clip etc. I am looking to spend around £10 but can go up to + or - £20. I have looked at a few online such as the Argos, ebuyer and Amazon range. But...

Thanks for that - definitely worth considering.

Yes, that's a nice system and it was on offer for £49.99 just two days ago.

I beg your pardon, it's not an Alba, it's a Wharfedale.

Yes, I agree, it's good for a retro system.

Sure but I am interested to know of any current new models from the 2014 range, as it were, to replace my Alba with. Something good for value. As I say, I don't mind going over £50 slightly.

Well... the iPod dock is optional but I would prefer one with a cassette player.

Well... ahem... yes lol I am thinking about some of the Argos range. But also interested if anyone knows of similar, but better, stuff from somewhere else eg. ebuyer

Thanks for that. That is a good find I will definitely consider - I've got some speakers anyhow.

I am willing to compromise - as long as it has CD, mp3 and cassette player. I've actually got an old Alba product (NE566USB) from Argos about five years ago that has the lot, but it's not functioning too well these days, lots of skipping CD and USB. But the sound is great.

Aye Aye... still learning the ropes lol

I am looking for a micro music system around £50 - don't mind if it goes slightly over that limit. It's got to have CD, cassette player, mp3 capability and radio atleast. Good quality sound with EQ is a MUST. DAB radio would be nice - as would SD card reader, aux socket, headphones, iphone...

Just out of interest... does any one have an opinion of Samsung Plano CRT TVs?
