All in one box and small as possible! home cinema/hifi

[admin_exported]

The battle of the sexes is alive and well when it comes to choosing what sound and vision equipment is allowed in the house!

My brief is hifi sound quality first playing mainly cds and ipod, followed by respectable dvd performance and not too fussed whether we have surround sound. Budget around 1500 to 2000 pounds all in.

My boys want loud surround sound and great visual performance - but they're not paying so can ignore them

My wife wants all in one tiny box, tiny discreet speakers, no wires/cables visible and fancies the idea of multi room set up facility

Any ideas/solutions please?!

thanks

Arcam Solo, Arcam Movie Solo? For multi-room you would need to look at Apple Express, Squeezebox or Sonos. I'm afraid you will always have wires to some degree, you will just have to be neat when running them. Obviously the multi-room can be wireless providing you have a wireless network in your home. See the relevant subforum for details on those.

Does it have to be 5.1? My first thought was Cambridge Sonata, but 5.1 requirement scotches that idea - in which case I'd think Solo Movie too (budget buster though...)
