All in one system advise

[admin_exported]

Hi my surround sound receiver has given up so time for a new one only problem I have is space all the av receivers that i have found are too big,So after doing some research it looks like I need to get an all in one system although I have no need for the speakers or built in DVD/blue-ray but can't have it all.

Can anyone recommend one that has 2 optical inputs as need to connect my skyHD box and xbox and has good sound.

Thanks in advance.

What was your old receiver (to give us an idea of how much space you've got)?

Hi sorry my current reciever is a Pioneer vsx c301

Thanks

Ah right. That really was wee...have you thought about just getting another one (which you'll be able to do for pennies, will just be a case of waiting for the right colour, if silver isn't it)?

Hi thanks for getting back to me I did think about getting the same model but then though I could use this as an excuse to get an upgrade (as long as I can get one to fit!!!!!!)

Although not as slim as your current one, the Marantz NR1601 would be a significant upgrade, about £400.
Or you could have the previous model the NR1501, I can vouch for this model, available for less money, eg Peter Tyson have it at £250.
But I suppose it depends on how much you want to spend and your other equipment.

Ok thanks, looking at them in a bit more detail I think im down to either the Panasonic SC-BT230EB-K or the LG HB405SU im guessing there's not going to be much between the 2?

Thanks

I have the Panny SC-BT230 - very happy with it - small. sleek, good sound for an all-in-one and you can get it for around £200. Works particularly well if you have a Panny TV.
