Micro and style systems

The Yamaha MCR-640 CD player and receiver system comes with glossy speaker cabinets that look the business

The Marantz M-CR603 is one slick, fully loaded little system that's more than capable of running top-notch speakers

The Onkyo CS-545UK keeps things simple and is all the better for it

The Philips MCI900 may have striking looks but the musical delivery is unforgivably bland and soft

The Sony CMT-MX550i may look purposeful and have an integrated iPod dock but it's far from competitive

The Neo has a more agile sound and extra functionality over the original Arcam Solo

The MCR-140 is a versatile micro featuring Yamaha's AirWired wireless streaming technology

Although DAB+ may be exciting for some people outside the UK, for us Brits the One+ isn’t enough of an update

The Sony NAS-E300HD rips at 4x playing speed, but you can swap to real-time to listen and record simultaneously

The Teufel Impaq 40 may look rather shed-built but the sound it produces is near-faultless for the money
