Dear Naked Ape
I have taken the time to read your question and have noticed that you seek the dual functionality of an ipod dock and radio, perhaps for use in your kitchen? You can head bang to sepultura and dice the carrots at the same time. Given your budget the speakers will invariably be shit, why not go for a hassle free roberts.

Cheers m8

If you expand your budget you can always go for a marantz 502 which I use to cover a similar situation.

If I had the money, I'd totally BOSE my house up.
That would be awesome. I could listen to my shit music wherever I was.

I have a Bose sound dock - it's good, but not brilliant & the remote control eats batteries.

I'm talking about that £600 base station, £400 reciever setup.
Silly money, but if you're 'really into' music, it might be considered worth it.

Just as your neighbours had managed to forget the existence of Cyndi Lauper and T'pau...

Barry's your man for annoying your neighbours with music.
He finds 4am is a good time if you really want to piss them off.

Seriously?
My music is shit, but not that shit.

That's an album, isn't it?
I recognise the name, but I don't know who it was. Coldplay?

You're fooling nobody with this routine

I'd liek an itergrated music/computer and TV system throughout the house

That's easy enough, Apers.
I've got something like that in my flat, jury-rigged from odds and ends.

remember the curtain incident?
and the inability to use itunes properly?
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 17 Apr 2012, 13:06, Reply)

It's honestly Ape-proof.
The biggest expense would be a NAS box and the drives to put in it, but you could bypass that if you're happy to have the power consumption of a proper PC going whilst you're in another room.

Nas is a rapper and Drives are people that take you home after a piss up in Bristol...

£200 an hour plus expenses
and I'll do it for you.
( Kroney, Tue 17 Apr 2012, 13:18, Reply)

Can you sort the curatin as well?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 17 Apr 2012, 13:27, Reply)

Yes
but I shan't.

Runs as a wireless music server and is hardwired to my AV amp in the living room.
