? When you say "people", do you mean wife/girl/boyfriend by any chance?

No, I meant who told you the kitchen was the only place you could put your system?

You could put the speakers on wall brackets like these if you have not got room for dedicated stands .

It should allow them to work better than placing them on a shelf and they can be adjusted for angle and tilt to get the best sound balance

Well your speakers really are not going to work anywhere near their potential placed on a shelf, regardless of what's running them.Stands, or even wall-mounts, are going to make a night and day difference. I do appreciate, though, that a kitchen is an impractical - even impossible - location to site stands, but listen to Electro and look at wall mounts.

Edit: Plus one for the B-Tech's. I have a pair, although I had to dispense with them due to masonry problems

I'd live next to you The_Lhc, I hate neighbours who want to talk to me :rofl:

Going back to the OP. You certainly should get a better sound if you swap the Denon for the Marantz pairing - or, if you want to keep things compact (never bad on a shelf) the Marantz Melody Media (aka CR603) or Denon CEOL systems.

There are some superb deals on those systems at the moment, and you should hear a clear step up from your DM38 - and you'll add Apple AirPlay capability, allowing you to stream directly to your hi-fi from your Apple iThings...
