Recommendation Needed For A Hi-Fi/Mini Hi-Fi

nightswimmer

Hi

My parents are after a Hi-Fi/Mini Hi-Fi for between £100 and £200 but I've been finding it hard to find any comparitive reviews online, so has anyone got any recommendations?

Minimum Requirements:

CD Player
Cassette Deck
AM/FM Tuner
Remote Control

Extra/Preferred requirements if at all possible:

CD Changer (3 or 5 Disc)
Twin Cassette Deck
Turntable
Speakers

I know sound quality in this price range won't be the best, but they just want it for everyday usage and aren't audiophiles, so as long as it sounds ok to a 'normal' user, then that'll be great.

Cheers. :rudolf:

Some of the all-in-one "Receivers" i.e. CD, tuner (AM/FM and DAB), Amp and remote control from Denon and TEAC are excellent, but none of these quality brands will come with a cassette deck as standard. (John Lewis stock some excellent versions.)

Have a flick though a What Hi-Fi mag in the newsagents to see some recommended, you'll be hard pressed to find anything decent quality with cassette today, unless Sony are still making them.

Personally I'd never buy an all in one; I'd go down to Richer Sounds and buy a separate amp, speakers and CD player, tuner etc.

Here's a Sony with tape deck, DAB, CD/MP3 deck for under £50:
