Denon m35 DAB

[psychedelic]

Hi Guys, I am hunting for a CD/DAB system in the 200 - 300 price range. I recently came across Denon's new M35 DAB. It looks good but the review by What HIFI was not so good. The conclusion was its not as good as its predecessor M31! which doesnt have DAB. I would like to know your views on this , Thanks in advance

The conclusion centred on the speakers, not the unit itself.

WHF have their favourites and should have done the right thing and tested the unit with other speakers. Do yourself a favour and listen yourself, if you like the sound with the Denon speakers then buy it. If you don't (as I didn't, they're very average) then buy the unit only and invest in speakers that will do it justice. IMO you'd be better of either not getting the DAB unit if budget is an issue, or investing in better speakers as the M-35 is more than up to the job (I chose B&W's DM600 S3's - £200).
