Advantages: Sound quality Disadvantages: Price compared to lesser rivals
like the clear look of the display which simply tells you which input you are playing and the station if you are playing DAB. Everything is set out well and looks the usual Denon part. It looks a very smart system overall.
**The Sound**
Now onto the all important Sound test. This is a very highly thought of system and has won many awards and fans for it's sound.

A normal hotel room is more than adequate for a couple, however, when travelling with another couple, you have a choice (particularly when travelling to Spain or Portugal, it seems) between renting two double or twin rooms in a hotel, or sharing a two bedroom holiday apartment. In September, my husband and I visited Portugal (near Lisbon) with another couple, and chose therefore to stay in a two bedroom apartment at the Clube do Lago in Monte Estoril (near Caiscais, about a half hour cab or train ride from Lisbon). We were there six days and five nights.
As the holiday had been booked through a travel agent, we were met at the airport by a driver, and driven the 40 minutes or so from the airport to the hotel. One of the first things you notice is the cobbled semi ...
