No.

Ok, but...may I ask why? Is it the Denon itself (supposed to have
good
reviews) or the speaker type?

2. Richer sounds package of Cambridge AUDIO CD34 CD Player +
Cambridge Audio A5 Amplifier + Mission M71i speakers at £249.
Maybe
buying a receiver later. Those M71's aren't floorstanders though
which is what I'm really after.. I wonder if RS would let me
upgrade
the speakers...

Yes

I guess I am edging towards this myself.

3. An 'all-in-one' package like the Tangent but still seperates
rather than something like a mini hi-fi.

No.

I take it Tangent don't have a good name then? Or are a 'no-name'
when it
comes to audio....



First time round - about 30 years ago - Tangent had a very good name.
The company was set up by a chap who's name was - I think - Greenwood,
and who was by profession an opera singer. They were based near
Cambridge, finally at Bar Hill.

My father-in-law still has a pair of their TM1 floorstanders on which
he plays mainly classical organ music. Very nice they are too.
