One of our favourite CD/ Receiver micro systems, the Denon D-M38DAB has just won the latest WHAT HI*FI award for best micro systems . This is a very well-sorted, cost-effective system. We couldn't put it better ourselves, and at our price of £199 with out speakers or £280 with the Denon SCM37 speakers with free UK delivery, they are selling very quickly indeed.
