Hello,
I'm new to the forum and audio systems themselves and I hopefully wanted to get some advice on what systems to look at to save looking at any that are problematic or not seen as good.
I appreciate that for the money I'm spending I'm asking for a lot but bear with me.
I've had a look at the Sony NAS-55CPK? system, it pretty much seems to fit the bill but I've had a hard time locating one at a decent price (not willing to entertain £750 for this system when it is end of life and can be had for £528 elsewhere albeit with a wait).
I've also seen that Onkyo and Teac are both doing systems which although not directly comparible do seem to meet most of my requirements, they are the Onkyo CS-925 (http://www.eu.onkyo.com/products/CS-925UKD.html) and the Teac Reference 380 system (http://www.teac.co.uk/2007site/pages/product_pages/reference/pop_380_system.html).
The Sony obviously provides far more flexibility as it is the basis of a multi-room install but it appears to be ready for replacement and hasn't sold that well. I'm keen to look at other brands if their products are newer, the Teac is only a month old I believe but really I'm looking for the opinion of people who have actually heard these systems and used them in anger to give their opinion of how well they actually deliver.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jim
