I've just bought a £30 Aldi speaker which I'm going to pair with an amazon dot thing for one of the boys' bedrooms.[/QUOTE]

Not the mini speakers, unfortunately.

I have had pretty mediocre performance from Cambridge Audio stuff bought from Richer Sounds, and if I did get something from them now I would fork out for the five year guarantee. Personally, I've had enough of them and would never buy a Cambridge Audio product again.[/QUOTE]
I had a Cambridge CD player from them, it nearly lasted for 6yrs. Luckily I didn't buy the 5yr guarantee.

My amp is a Cambridge Audio bought from Richer Sounds in 2001 and still going strong. Not to detract from your experience, just offering my own

Our Azure CD player has been buggered for ages. I know I can fix it myself with a soldering iron, but the replacement drive will cost as much as a nice new Yammy one which also plays mp3s, and it never sounded that good to me.[/QUOTE]
It lasted more than 5yrs so I'd have been a bit peeved, soundwise it wasn't bad and it's big plus was an optical 'out' which allowed me to record to minidisc. I wouldn't buy another one though.

You just can't buy customer service like that.
