1449363 2018-05-08 01:06:00 I haven't kept up with home audio & are looking at something to replace our 25 year old system.
Having a look on line but would appreciate any recommendations
Looking for something with similar sound to a PC 5.1 system.
Bluetooth, USB input, FM radio, not too expensive.

1449364 2018-05-08 01:16:00 It doesn't have FM radio, but I recently bought a JBL Extreme bluetooth speaker and it is frankly, incredible.

I think you can whack a USB in the back of it. Unless FM Radio is a dealbreaker, it might be worth considering.

1449365 2018-05-08 02:22:00 Thanks but I was thinking more of something like this

1449366 2018-05-08 03:15:00 Looks good. At the rsk of banging on coz you know what you want, have you listened to some of these bluetooth speakers?

If not, you might be surprised.

But if the radio and CD player is a dealbreaker then I'll shut up now :)

EDIT: I should have scrolled down the page - just noticed the bluetooth/wireless option. Is the $369.00 NZ dollars? Seems a good option.

I was surprised to even find a picture.
We've still got a stack of cd's, but have copied all the cassette tapes to MP3
We use the radio all the time, but occasionally have the urge to play something from the archives.
At the moment we cant play mp3's unless I use a PC.

1449368 2018-05-08 05:39:00 Best bet would be to go to JB Hifi / Noel Lemmings / appliance shed etc so you can hear what you're buying.
You cant tell what they sound like from the pic's :-)
Also , if the radio has good reception in the shop, thats a good sign for when you take it home.

this one looks less plasticy space shippy . Bigger speakers should give less tinny sound (hopefully)

Got daughter to go into Harvey Norman & she finished up buying the one I linked in post #3.
I might get to play with it this weekend if im lucky.
