Re: Hi-Fi advice required
If it's just music you want to listen to then get yourself a set of 50/80 Uni-Plangers from Charney's of Borneo, you'll obviously have to import them and pick them up from the container ship at Lowestoft. Remember to bring money for the import taxes, you'll have to weigh the Plangers first to work out the tax so bring some good scales. You can get decent Planger scales from www.plangerscaleworld.com
If you also want to hear the C and F notes in your music then you'll be wanting a full DGS set. They don't come with the ceiling screws though so grab them separately from Super Screws in Hull. They don't have a website, you have to go there but it's well worth it. Needless to say, make sure they give you the noise-dampening screws or it won't be worth the effort and don't let the robbing bastards tell you that you need 16 of them, you only need 12 max.
Then all you need to do is an 8-month Open University course to learn how to configure the high-end jangle with the sub lateral d-range.
Hope this helps.

My mistake - you are correct. I thought it didn't look right but couldn't be bothered to check... :thumbup:
Re: Hi-Fi advice required
I'd go for a Sonos system, if you like watching films you can use it as a 5.1 surround sound system. Amazing for watching action films.
Or just use your phone/tablet to play your music through the Sonos system.
I subscribe to Spotify and have an endless amount of music I can stream.
My system has got a sound bar, sub, and two speakers (called Play 3's) behind my sofa.
My system didn't cost that much more than the £1000 you want to spend.
If you've got a Richer Sounds near to you pop in and have a listen.
Re: Hi-Fi advice required
I should have posted you can easily add extra speakers wirelessly to other rooms in your house.

Thanks to you and all the other contributors. I'm not into action films and am only interested in music - and the poster who mentioned the stereo aspect returned me to my original thoughts about having true stereo.
Is there something simple like the Muso but with speakers that offer the full benefit of stereo?

If you are looking for a 'proper' system then you have to go to a specialist shop. The only advice I would give now as I haven't listened to equipment in this price range for a fair while, so don't know what is available, is do not buy anything without hearing it as a whole system in your home. Stuff which sounds impressive in a shop can rapidly become a nightmare when you get it home and listen to it properly.
I'm going to make one last recommendation that you make sure you listen to the Muso properly before buying separates, as I still think you'll struggle to beat it for your budget.
I looked for the closest dealer to you in Taunton and came up with this bloke: http://www.mikemanningaudioshop.com/...n-one-systems/ who coincidentally seems to be heavily into Naim too...
Best of luck with your search!
