My music system is for my cd's and radio I have a Bose wave system 4 with cd player. It sounds great and sits by my bed on a nightstand and I listen to radio and my cd's while laying down and relaxing. My turntable is an Audio Technica LP-120 with Edifier powered speakers. It all sounds great to me. I know many have more expensive systems but I am not rich and I got the Bose on sale for $299 so I did save $200 at least and it's amazing sounding.
