Is it possible, if I would consider used or older gear?
What would you recommend?

What is the definition of system. It it's just speakers, plenty of nice options at that price. If it's something to drive them, then used would most likely be the route. There are a few Rotel and Arcam pieces on audiogon that would fit into this budget.
Hope this helps.Last edited by htsteve; 03 December 2008, 16:46 Wednesday. -

Cambridge Audio Azur 540A v2 int-amp $300

I would say look for a used pair of B&W 600 S3 or 601 S3 bookshelf speakers. That should run you no more than $250.Originally posted by atchudy
And add a used Marantz or Cambridge integrated amp. You should be able to pick a 2002+ model integrated amp for no more than $250.
That's speakers and amp. It's what I would do.

I raised this in the thread about B&Ws new product, which turned out to be a sound bar. (insert snore here)
The more I think about it the more I think that B&W is moving away from its traditional market. How many audiophiles would consider a soundbar as their solution, how many... -
Well, I've been looking at some various headphones and I came to the conclusion to go with Sennheiser HD595.
However, I'm curious to how the Bose noise cancelling variety compare? Anyone have comments or is there another brand/model for me to be looking at.

My boss at work has given the go ahead to purchase (anyone who wants them) a set of headphones. 2 reasons... some like to listen to the radio or music while working, others prefer silence for concentration.
A couple of fellow employees have the BLOSE (BOSE) Noise Cancellation set. $300... -
I just obtained the Griffin Technologies iTrip FM modulator that allows a MP3 player to transmit it songs to any FM radio. Although there are many FM modulaters on the market for MP3 players, the unique thing about the Griffin Technologies is it looks to be an extension of the iPod line...
