    Hi all,

    As the subject line suggests, I'm new to the area of hifi and looking to get my first proper hifi system.

    I've been contemplating the Zeppelin Air from B&W, but I'm not sure if this is forcing myself down the Apple road. I may well take this road, but I'd like to have the option I think!
    Also having heard it, and another of my options, the Arcam Solo Mini, I think the mini system is the better choice for sound.
    I've also been contemplating the Denon Ceol and the Marantz CR603.
    I do feel I'd like to have the option of streaming music, most of my music is iTunes based, so I'm wondering how I'd achieve this if I went the Arcam Solo Mini route? I think the Neo they do may be outside my budget.
    With the above in mind, would it be possible to get a price on the following:
    Zeppelin Air.
    Arcam Solo Mini.
    Arcam Solo Neo
    Denon Ceol
    Marantz CR603

    Can you also recommend some speakers for the above? I've read Monitor Audio BX2 and B&W 685 are worth considering. Can you price these also?

    Thank you in advance,
    Terry.
