And I can't forget the full Centrate system!

I really wanted this Clarion system for my mercedes 500SEC AMG

The Kia Sportage doesn't lend itself to being modded although I have a spare double din touchscreen pioneer headunit to go in, but then every new car has a touchscreen of sorts anyway

I'm after a bit of Hi-Fi advice and thought this might be a good place. I want something half decent that will play CDs in my home office but it's quite a small room and the whole thing has to fit on a shelf that's just 26cm deep and about 60cm wide. So traditional Hi-Fi sizes are no good. I've been looking at 2nd hand Micro Hi-fi with book shelf speakers and some all-in-one things but nothing has jumped out at me. Any suggestions? I don't want to spend more than a couple of hundred but ideally more like £50.

My advice would be get all your cd's ripped to FLAC and play them from a USB or mobile device... With a decent set of speakers and something like this you'll certainly have a half decent sound to enjoy

Props to LGF for the recommendation on that little gem.

I do have some MP3 and flac files but to be honest I prefer physical media. Prices for Retro Hi-Fi gear still seems quite strong, which is a shame as I was hoping to find a bargain...

Denon micro systems do a decent job for what they are, even the older ones, especially when coupled up to some decent speakers.

Yes, I was also looking at a nice Onkyo one but need to check depth of the unit.
