thanks for the tip steve_1979 and BenLaw thank you too, as you say it seems i had the answer all along but 46 replies ago i wasn't sure, all the replies helped to get me here! though there is still a tiny voice inside my head saying 'what about that onkyo?'...... (kidding - it's not compact...

i honestly feel that through the magic of the internet we've put our heads together and solved my dilemma! thanks so much everyone. i will now go and find a marantz and start testing speakers that can fit on my bookshelves, look great and sound a million dollars! Wish me luck. and Thank You...

as i work through all the options i think how nice my very first stereo setup was that had the stereo amplifier where i could adjust the bass / treble / balance ..... i guess that just means another piece of kit though right? that stereo was gigantic! (Rotel!)

ok so having slept on all the information you've given me it seems that based on the fact the i have itunes, apple TV (through which i can stream itunes) a dvd player & sky what i probably need is an amplifier and speakers? does that sound right? i've decided against the 'active' speakers as i...

thanks for all the input everyone. it seems my options are even more than i thought which unfortunately means i'm still confused! also, just so you know what you're dealing with i'm not a 'he' i'm a 'she' which may or may not alter your idea of what is right for me? in my dream world i find...

thanks for the suggestions. do you know if i hook my sky box up to a stereo amp will there be a delay on the audio?

but aren't the AVI ADM9's and the other suggestions just speakers? i need to find the complete system for under £750

ideally I would spend about £500 but could go up to about £750. yes i would consider used.

thanks for the replies. i didn't realise i can play cd's on my dvd player! so if that is the case what would you suggest?

Hi I'm am trying to find the perfect all rounder stereo. I would like something that has great sound to play from my iTunes library but I am afraid of giving up the option of CD and if possible something that i can plug a DVD and sky box into. It also has to be compact. Does something like...
