I think I understand your dilemma - you have more or less decided on a stack
of gear and you want to say to the dealer 'I know what I want, just wheel
out the boxes, cut me a 'speedy spender' deal and I'll be gone in 60
seconds!' or somesuch? No?
Ok...I admit it, the above had crossed my mind.

It'll cost you about 210 (total) from Argos and you'll get 3 identical
remotes which will operate everything. Grab one and get a Dymo tape machine
to make some fancy labels to stick on each piece (I leave it up to you to
choose a sutable name) and then grab a pair of Living Voice Auditoriums
I'm slightly disturbed by your in depth knowledge of this "system",
Keith! ;-) Have you auditioned one yourself? Do you, dare I say it, own
one? Three remotes...I'm sorely tempted.
The Living Voices are a bit over my speaker budget but they do look
sure to impress my mates, and my 12 year old Mordaunts are getting a
bit long in the tooth. Do you think they can handle the output from the
Argos rig though? ;-) I'd hate to think they weren't doing it
justice...
Actually, more seriously, I'm looking at an Arcam CD73, an Arcam A70
amp...and possibly some B&W 603 S3s. Can't stretch to anything fancy
like a tuner.
With any luck I might get bored with the idea soon and be able to go on
holiday instead...
