We are looking to get rid of our amp and speakers etc and replacing it with a bose system or something similar. We want to use it as a sound dock and also have audio in for laptop etc.
Has anyone got any recommendations for the best one to buy.

When see any Bose equipment I am amazed that they have the bare-faced cheek to charge so much for so little.

I'd suggest having a look at the Pure Avanti Flow, or maybe Denon separates.
Bose - sold to the gullible on QVC.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
Thats why I thought I would ask on here. I thought there would be something else to rival it. I have heard the Bose and it does sound really nice. But as you said Grossly overpriced.Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance....0

When I had a little more money than sense, I bought a set of Bose Acoustimass 5 speakers about 20 years ago. Still got them and they still sound terrific. Had the surround amp (not Bose) that drives them repaired twice, but the speakers keep on going. So I suppose I've had my money's worth?

We want to get the right sound and the right system for us so don't mind spending the money if the product is OK. I'm a bit techno tragic I'm afraid so although I know what I like I'm not always sure what to look for so can easily be sold something by the salesperson.
Not sure on how speakers with amps would work. I've not seen them before.Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance....0
