[adam85]

Dear Hi-PHi Gurus,

I am considering this unit for a bedroom, has anybody has any experience of it?
Also, do you think the below is a good deal?

Not heard that exact system, but it's predeccessors have consistently been amongst the finest of their type for the last decade or so. I can't see why this one woudl be any different.

I used to have a DM30 as a little everday system in one room and it never failed to impress me with it's musicality and control - and that's coming from someone who's main system is grossly expensive in comparison.

It could be partnered with all manner of speakers and still shine - even ones which were 10x the price of the unit itself.

I love mine, it's hooked up to a ( ) Bose Acoustimass 5 system due to space reasons but it sounds great, very happy with it.

I also have one of the Denon predecessor's in the bedroom system, it has worked well for many years, and sounds pretty good. For the price, I don't think there is much better, but you could also look at Cambridge Audio One, and Onkyo models.

I still have a DM30 in my study now.
It must be 10 yrs old, but still sounds great.

I've had the original DM-7 for about 14 years and had a DM-37 until recently (non-DAB). Both really excellent systems, punch well above their weight and size.
Just consider 'proper' speakers for them. I'd recommend either the tannoy Mercury custom F1's or the Wharfdale Diamond 9.1's. I own both sets of speakers and they sound ace with the denons. Wharfdale's are laid back, F1's a bit more pacey and forwards. Both wipe the floor with the bundled speakers, it just depends what you prefer. Pay no more than £100 for either.

Thanks for the advice guys, order placed for the DM37 with the Wharfdale Diamond 9.1's.
Looking forward to hearing it now! Cheers

That's a cracking deal.
Enjoy!
Just a note - you might find you need speaker stands for the 9.1's, and be aware that they've very "deep" - the speaker terminals stick out the back so they don't go against walls very well.
