Just joined the forum as I am setting up a system from scratch and would appreciate some advice.
My budget is £1000 to include all cabling, stands etc (as I said starting from scratch).
I listen to CD's but also have a lot of MP3/AIFF's on my Macbook Pro.
Main tastes are fairly wide but always comes back to classic rock of the 70's.
I would prefer to start off with separates as I am a bit old fashioned and they seem to be more easily extended in the future.
My first priority is a CD/Amp/Speaker set up (Bookshelf or floor standing) with a future expansion to include an internet radio/network streaming capability.
I am currently looking at the Marantz PM and CD 6004 as they seem to be very popular.Not sure about speakers.
My question: For my budget could I get some ideas of other makes and models to consider that would be able to meet my current needs and be compatible for future expansion?
I shall be coming over to the UK in January (I currently live in Belgium) and will audition suggestions then (Stuff is way cheaper in the UK at the moment).
Thank you for your indulgence
Chris
