If looking for accurate neutral sound with low distortion and good dynamic range:

Squeezebox touch

Adam audio artist 3

At this price level, I would certainly be looking at Active speakers, as the VFM would be impressive. I would also be looking at SBT + Rega Brio R + RS1 (or preferably RS3 ex-dem)

Looking for an open musical sound for £1k

Denon DM38DAB (or new DM39DAB) with some good £200 compact speakers and £550 left over for an iPod Touch and speaker stands and some CDs or downloads*.

*Or a nice bit of furniture to put the Denon on.

ATC SCM7

Target R1 Stands

Sony TA-F770ES

Whichever CDP takes your fancy, or Streamer/DAC for £300.

An excelent setup for 'normal' rooms, tight and punchy bass, stable midrange and soundstage and accurate treble. Not the last word on bass depth but its the only downfall.

Beresford DAC, Urei 6290, scruffy pair of EV Sentry III's or Altec 19's would have OK bass with a pleasantly wide open, unfettered midrange and treble. Swap the EV's or Altecs for Quad ESL 57's or 63's for more magical midrange at the expense of some outright grunt. Swap the Beresford DAC for a Sony PS6750 turntable plus Denon 110 cartridge for vinyl. Swap the Quads for Bozak Symphonys or Concert Grands for better bass with a smoother less wide open midrange.
