Two points then: 1 - why not stick with a hidden PC (or a silent one)? This is the cheap option, and allows for all the upgrades as technology advances (like streaming video etc). One of the neat elements of the Slim solution is that you don't have mounds of boxes in the living room. 2 - it's hard to give such generic system advice when it's so personal. I normally advise to go to a hi-fi show, and listen to very different systems from the different 'camps' (see my other thread here!). Once you find a 'super' system that you love, you can go about finding an affordable one of a similar ilk! There are high-end shows in London every six months, but you just missed one.
