Something like Avanti flow but with CD

Have done a bit of research and really like the look of the Avanti Flow. Of course it does not have an integrated cd player. Can anyone recommend something (nearly) as good with one? Thanks all.

Re: Something like Avanti flow but with CD

The Avanti sounds good , it has DAB, Ipod dock but in terms of wifi radio and for ,mp3 streaming it sucks. The software is amateurish at best and the buttons don't make much sense either. If you want something that does everything there will be quite a few compromises there.

What does this one seem ? Roberts MP53 Sound 53 CD/DAB/FM Digital Sound System: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
You give up the wifi in favor of CD.

Thanks, will take a look.
Am currently looking at the Sony NAS-Z200DIR but it does seem a little expensive.

That does pretty everything and has a nice LCD remote that probably inflates the price, but will make things easier for you. Looks nice and as powerfull as the Avanti, if you don't take into account the included sub, which to me it's a waste.

Re: Something like Avanti flow but with CD

How about the Denon S52 - ab bit more £ than the Avanti at about £330 (may be cheaper with a google search). Seems to do what you want though. I have no experience of this and so do not know if it is any good but the specs seem to match.

John Lewis used to sell it for about 500£ I think. It must have Denon's quality and sound should be good.

Re: Something like Avanti flow but with CD

Thanks everyone. A little more food for thought.
My Denon PMA-250 II amplifier must be over 15 years old and still going strong!
