Using our years of testing expertise, we've created a cracking budget hi-fi system that adopts a ‘do-it-all’ philosophy and executes it with aplomb. If ever a system could be described as being more than the sum of its parts, it’s this one. First-time buyers; prick up your ears.
At the heart of the set-up is a current What Hi-Fi? Best System Under £500 Award-winner – the Denon D-M41DAB. This is a complete microsystem in its own right, comprising a DAB radio, CD player, analogue and digital optical inputs (for attaching external sources), an on-board amplifier and a pair of compact two-way speakers. It also offers Bluetooth, meaning you can play music from pretty much any source. And once you have done that a few times, you won’t want to stop, because this multi-tasking marvel seems not to have a weak link in any of its chains.
