what sort of music do you listen to. size of room. would you consider second hand.

the music i would listen to would mainly consist of metal and acoustic, while the room is an average size double bedroom and i would rather buy new.

NAD C515BEE CD player and C315BEE Amplifier and the Award-Winning Tannoy Mercury F1 Custom speakers from SuperFi for £420 looks good. Leaves a few quid for cable and stands, should just sneak under the £500.

That's quite a tight budget in hifi terms, but nowhere near impossible. If you insist on buying new, I would check out Richer Sounds, they have lots of budget kit in stock and do deal on whole systems.

I have checked their site, if I were you, I would save up £100 more and go for the Marantz and Wharfdale system for £600, saving you £200 if you bought the stuff seperatly. Marantz always do good budget kit and in my opinon, they are a lot better than other budget brands. The wharfdale speakers are well thought of too.

Hope this isnt against the rules, link to the page here:
