Back in the days before ‘smart’ products, before flat-panel televisions, before the internet even, we would have called this an audiophile budget system. It’s rather old-fashioned, then – and we like it that way.

Old-school it may be, but this trio of products combines wonderfully to make beautiful music; and that, after all, is what all this is about. The whole point of investing in a stereo system is to enjoy your music as much as possible – and if this is your budget, you will be hard pressed to beat the upbeat sound you’ll enjoy from this system.
