Classic newby question; what setup can I get for 1k all in?

Rar. I am not finding the CDN500 in silver for the £250 Richers are offering it for in black (which is, however, a serious bargain). Maybe a quick call to them to see if they do do it in silver? The amp's nice as well, and leaves you a lot of budget for speakers.

EDIT - Superfi seem to have it in Silver, but at £200 more than the black one. Might be worth a call to your local branch to see if there is a deal to be had for a full system...
