What other options b&w zeppelin??

[Arcam_boy]

Hello,

I've finally found a nice table for an open space we had in the lounge which will have a small stylish lamp and some kind of integrated 2 channel stylish system.

Needs to be small and stylish.

Needs to sound very nice for stereo.

Needs a remote control.

Max budget £400.

Only thing I can honestly think of is the b&w Zeppelin off the top of my head

I seen a Audyssey system in Apple store.

Cheers mate

Will get myself in to the bull ring for a listen to one if they have one.

I was also considering an arcam solo mini and some arcam muso speakers but unfortunately that would blow my budget 3 times over

I've not heard the Zeppelin but it's supposed to be good.

I've heard this:

DENON DM38DAB MICRO SYSTEM WITH WHARFEDALE DIAMOND 9.1 SPEAKERS SIZZLER - available from Superfi UK Visit http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/product_id/6865 for details

It's very good.

What do you mean by stylish?

Considering your name have you thought about the Arcam rcube? This is a little over budget but should sound pretty good. There is also the mini zepplin by B&W or the Logitech Boom (although maybe less stylish than the B&W). There may also be a Sonos system within budget but not sure on that one.

The Zeppelin is very good although I'm just wondering what else is around. I don't really want you average box and 2 speaker system although I know I said I'd like the Arcam Muso system.

My Mrs has already let me have a 5.1 system in the lounge but being MK its not the greatest for music and its a pain the the **** having to have everything switched on just to listen to a few songs.

Rcube looks promising

I've got one of these logic 3 valve 80 jobbies which sound pretty good and look the absolute part, beautiful bit of kit if you want a bit of show. Might not be as good sound as b&w but sounds and looks good enough as my lounge centre piece. Lovely glow when the valves get going

Have you considered the Philips Fidelio DS9000 iPod/iPad Docking Speaker System?

Easily rivals the Zeppelin for audio performance and very stylish too.

Philips Fidelio Primo DS9000

Cheers,

Chris.

That Philips one looks stunning

That Philips one looks stunning

It is, it really does sound great too. I was genuinely surprised when we first got it in the store.

It is large enough to enable docking of an iPad too and with the dedicated Philips Fidelio App installed you can access and a range of additional control functions for it too.

Cheers,

Chris.
