Any suggestions?


I was looking for one today funnily enough. Saw one of these in John
Lewis that might fit the bill:

Bit more than I am willing to pay, but I see they're available cheaper
online. Not that impressed with the sound - but a decent name ;-)

Dunno about you but I choose sound systems based on how they *sound*
rather than the brand name. Even in their heyday Roberts were just
putting together Ferranti made building blocks in a half wooded case.


Bit of a whoosh situation there :-)

I find Roberts tend to trade on a name too much - bit like Hoover and
Dyson perhaps. I tried one of their internet radios while I was there.
Crashed/locked solid.

Back then they didn't try so hard to boost the base response which is
what leads to the excessive boxiness of their current offerings.


Yes, that's what I thought about the sound, very boomy and overbearing
bass, dull treble.

I do have a Stream 83i - had it for some years now and use it every day.
That's pretty good.
