I want rich big sound in my living room and I don't have much room for speakers due to the way the bookcases take up walls, etc.

I have heard some good things about Denon micro systems.

Can anybody help? Price is not that much of an object, although I don't want to spend as much money as it would take to get a Linn Classik.

Please help.

Price no object? Not much space available?
By all means: a Bose Wave Music System!
From their web site:
"It may well become the primary music system in your home."

JVC makes a really nice little DVD micro system with wood cone drivers. It retails for $500 but it sounds amazing. Best I have heard in its class. Its the EX-A1

Heres a link to a bigger photo

See if you can find an Acoustic Energy 2.1 system. Its powered so all you need is a CD player and youre set. Great reviews from Stereophile and all the British HiFi mags.

I visited a Sony shop in London and some of their micro systems are based on S-Master digital amplification. Wouldn't know whether the speakers are OK.

I have something similar to this (mine is all in one box and about half the price) and when I checked for info on it here, it apparently won the Golden Ear award from some magazine. Anyway, take a look:

I like the sound of my unit and the build quality is excellent.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm going to try one of those JVC EX-A1 systems. there is a local Tweeter store that has them for around $500.

They soak the drivers in Japanese saki

Read that in consumer reports.

Cnet has a review of this JVC system. They like it, although they said its style was a large part of it. I think it seems like it would be pretty good, myself.

Cnet JVC EX-A1 review

Edited to add: It's worth reading page 4 of the review. They discuss this system's sound quality with different types of music.

Aego 2.1 with any cd player would do you, and you can get an aego system cheap off ebay nowadays from their us distributor.

TEAC's reference series have something in a similar form factor to the JVC with kevlar cones and a rediculous number of inputs/outputs.
