2.1 system

[rejeeb]

My friend is looking for a 2.1 system.
Due to space constraints at his home, he wants a satellite+sub-woofer combo.
He is looking for systems that supports digital inputs. Any recommendations?

Take a look at Marantz NA7004 with Paradigm Millenia CT 2

Cambridge Audio Minx Xi Digital Music System
This one seems to have both optical and coaxial inputs

Marantz M-CR603 Network CD Receiver
Optical input

Marantz M-CR610 Network receiver/CD player with built-in Apple AirPlay and Wi-Fi
Optical input

Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS 2.1
Seems compact enough.

Cambridge+Boston combo looks pretty compact and good. (I just did a quick search in hifimart and posted the links. No personal experience with the mentioned models)

BA XS2.1 package, best sounding and a good VFM product.

Check out Onkyo LS3100. I am using one with my TV and really love it.

What is his budget?
Sky's the limit until we are brought to reality by budget.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
Marantz PM5004 + Boston Acoustics XS2.1 Package is the 1st one I also suggested to him. But it does not have toslink, that's what his main requirement.
His budget is 30,000.

If your friend can stretch his budget a little more, then he can have this one

I don't think any model you mentioned here has digital inputs (Toslink especially). The OP has said in one of his post that Toslink is the main requirement.

toslink, that's what his main requirement.

Active 2.1 Speaker package. No need for external/extra amp. The subwoofer unit has an optical input too.

the man did specify about digital input but not the source ... and everything is not termed "toslink":lol:

it also does not mean he can't explore options

logitech z506/906 can be a good 5.1 satellite speakers set up with subwoofer, how much space would the rear satellite take? and you don't have to connect them necessarily

so that can still be a good 3.1

No need for you or any one of us to worry about what source he's gonna use. That's his issue.

everything is not termed "toslink"? Clarify

it also does not mean he can't explore options

OP asks for a 2.1 and you suggest him 5.1? Buy 5.1 and one doesn't have to connect them all? Brilliant idea!. Name of the thread is "2.1 system". If you like to suggest, do accordingly.

so that can still be a good 3.1

3.1?

YOu can take a look @ Pioneer VSX 323 AVR + Boston Acoustics XS 2.1 system... Approx

But if he is looking for more digital inputs, then i would suggest used AVR route for 10 ~ 12K with Boston Acosutics XS 2.1 speakers....
