I am now also after a budget system for my 3m by 5m lounge and have 3 options.
Onkyo CS 515 with BR2 or Kef iq5 speakers costing around £550 (for the kefs)
Cambridge Audio package with the 6 series amp and cd player and mordaunt short speakers for £550. Could use my current iq5's for this system and the MS for a micro system in my bedroom.
Rotel RA05 (cant do without the remote) Marantz CD6002 cd player at around £680 including cables.
With the last system i can use my current iq5's with it that are currently on a micro in the bedroom and an old pair of speakers can replace them and then buy a new set either for the Rotel, probably BR5's or something new Tannoys for example for the micro.
Budget isnt a problem and dab or radio is not essential. Which will sound the best, i assume the onkyo will struggle against the others and is the What hifi recommendation worth £300 (including replacement speakers) more than the cambridge set up. I listen to all types of music including classical rock and pop and the system will also be used to put sound from TV and DVD through.
