    Hi, can somebody recommend a decent micro system and speakers for a large living room. I currently have a Onkyo micro system which is good but not really for a large room. I'm looking for a micro systems as hifi seperates need a bit more space. I was looking at a CAMBRIDGE AUDIO SONATA and Marantz M-CR502 system but have no idea as to what the sound quality is like.
    Also what would be the best book shelf speakers to use.

    Has anybody got any suggestions?????

    ECowley,

    Thanks for the post - the CR502 is way better in my honest opinion - http://whathifi.com/Review/Marantz-M-CR502/ there's the review from What Hi-fi at £400 - we do it at just £349.39 and I would take it every day of the week over the Sonata..

    On the bookshelf - Monitor Audio Bronze Reference One at a mimimum - but I would recommend the Bronze Reference Two which I can do with the CR502 at £499.95 / €579.99 (saving you £100!) or it woild even take the RX1 (Yummy Drool) at £649.95 / €749.99 - saving you £150!

    Keep us posted (and love to hear other Boardy opinions!)

    ATB,

    Howya John,
    sorry I'm only getting back to you now.
    Its a bit out of budget at the moment so I have been reading some reviews on the DENON DM37 system.

    Would recommend this and if so what speakers would go best with it.

    Some reviews are saying the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 would go perfectly with it or the Tannoy Mercury F1 Custom.


    Whats the best deal you could do on package delivered to Dublin.
    So many questions but I'm new to all this HiFi!:confused:


    Cheers.

    Hey ecowley123.

    The best option to go for including the Denon DM37 would be along with the BR1 speakers.

    I could offer this package for £269.95
    https://www.richersounds.ie/asp/product.asp?ObjectID=930&Mode=0&productid=1007&Results=true&keys=denon%20dm37
    This would work out at the same price as the Denon along with Tannoy Custom F1 and there would be no comparison between the F1 and the BR1's.

    Hiya John,
    that deal sounds deadly I will go with that deal. :)

    Do you have the Denon unit in silver and the speakers in the cherry colour as on your website.
    Also could you recommend some cable to go with this I need about 10 meters and also so banana plugs for the speakers.

    How do I organise payment and collection from the Philips shop in Dublin.


    Thanks for your help.

    Ec,

    The DM37 dab is now only available in black I'm afraid - would this be okay?

    If you wanted 10 mtrs of decent speaker cable & 2 pairs of 4mm plugs the total cost would be £287.95 including delivery to The Philips Shop - on the payment front - if you wanted to proceed - just drop me a PM or an email with your contact numbers and I'll get one of the guys to look after you to get your sorted,

    Thanks again,

    ATB,

    Hiya John,
    I collect my unit on Friday and I have to say the sound quality from the little unit is amazing.

    Thanks for all your help.


    Cheers.
