I need suggestions for a minisystem.

I've owned the Classik, nice, now run the NAD L-40 as a travel system and it rocks. I've run unit with Rogers LS3/5As, PSB Alphas and now Mission 72s and the system sounds much better than it has a right to. Isolatin with Isobearings will help.

Get the Denon. You don't need the warranty. they are very reliable unless you are really unlucky. I listen to both the Denon and the Yamaha Piano Craft and for the money you can't beat it. I think the one with a single CD player is better. The CD changer is kind of noisy. Goodluck!!!

I second the vote for the Denon; IMO for the money, the combo. with the little Mission speakers is very hard to beat. I have purchased the DM-30's for kids and inlaws--gets them a taste of what "high-end" can mean, in contrast to the "boom box" sound of similarly priced combinations.

I bought the single player Denon (the M30 I think) for my wife over a year ago for our small family room and we have been very pleased. It has been trouble free and sounds decent for what it is. If I am not mistaken I have seen this system being advertised on Ebay NIB for both $229 and $249.

I bought a NAD L-40 demo unit for my teenage son, replacing some mass-market equipment. Even with inexpensive speakers, it sounds great. Upgrading the speakers and cables will doubtless make it sound even better. I have nothing adverse to say about Denon equipment, but if you can afford the NAD L40 or the NAD Music System I think you'll like it. It's not really in the same category as most items marketed as "minisystems." It's basically a high quality mid-fi integrated amplifier, tuner, and CD player all built into a single standard-size case. You'll probably be very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sound which comes out of it.
