Hi - does your budget include speakers or you have a pair already?

If it doesn't then I would recommend stretching to £300 and going for the Cambridge Audio One from Richer Sounds - I got mine yesterday and think its a fantastic bit of kit. And also it has the sub out that you require.

£100 second hand, you will find a few of the HK amps of yesteryear have pre-outs on them, HK6500, HK6550, HK6150, HK6350. Wonderful amps. Far superiror to any £300 new amp.

You're not making much sense dude, if you are after single amplifier with a pre-out (like the HK6550 for £100 second hand) or a separates system with a pre-out for a sub (like the Denon DM31 series £100 second hand)

hi there seems to be some confusion, i am not after a large amp then a seperate set of speakers,

my bedroom is to small for that, i would like to buy a hi fi i.e two or more speakers and the main unit and connect an active subwoofer to it

[zu11y]

any one know if any of the technics hi fi systems have a sub out

[Bass junky]

Yes mine did - I had the 5 CD and then the 5 DVD units and both had a sub out

They did sound good but I wouldn't call them proper hi fi though - I would get a Denon DM37 with some speakers for around £280 brand new as it's very small, sounds great and has all the new stuff on board like a DAB tuner and a USB port which will save on making CDs

Here is a thread where we are discussing HK amps -

Who Here has a New Harman Kardon Amp?

This discusses the pluses and minuses, but overall the consensus is very positive.

Just a few thoughts.
