Replacing my Bose sound dock
Discussion
Hi all, my Bose sound dock as given up the ghost and I need to replace it.
I would like to have DAB on the new system but the question is what would you recommend. I need it to be around the size of the Bose sound dock as it fits into the corner of my kitchen just great.
I would prefer sound quality over flashing lights and gimmicks ect
Looking to spend around £200.
Thanks

Ruark R4i. It looks and sounds excellent. I might be slightly biased as my BiL works for them but he has a few in his house and I know the effort gone into getting them right.
They DO sound good..and get good reviews.
Bit above your budget though.
PM me if you are interested. I can ask about a deal...can't promise anything but worth asking...

I'd second the Ruark range though I'd suggest that the R2i is more in line with the OP's requirements and budget. You can get a 'graded' (ie slight second) R2i direct from Ruark for £224.

Another new name to me I'm afraid
Anyone any good or bad reports on Monitor or Ruark
Before this I thought there was Bose, B&W & Panasonic...
I guess as well as sound there has to be a bit of aethetics come into it and the Monitor does look a little like a part of female anatomy (or is that just me)

There are lots of reviews of the Ruark stuff from the serious HIFI magazines just do a search for Ruark R4i or Ruark R2i review on Google. You can also try searching for Vita Audio R2i review etc as that is what they were called until fairly recently where the name was changed to match their HIFI speaker brand.
