For more detailed advice, why not let us know: - What kind of music you like. If you have lots of parties with drum and bass, you need a different system to a folk music lover. Most systems, though, should be good for most kinds of music. Do you like to play music really loud?
- How big the room is and what constraints you have on speaker placement and size (i.e. wife, kids, etc!) - Whether you are sure you want to buy new, or willing to consider second-hand. - What systems really blew you away at the hi-fi show. This is quite important - some systems are quite 'in-your-face', while some are much more laid back. The ones that you felt were right will guide your purchases even if you are only spending a tenth as much as their value. - What is your budget, and do you see this as step one on an upgrade path, or do you want to live with this for at least, say, five years? This could affect whether you get a balanced system now, or splurge out on, say, the speakers.
