Advice on home speakers

+1 for richer sounds. It depends what you want to do:

1. amp & speakers. good for ipod & any other separates you have. also good for plugging in your PC (internet radio :-)). Cheap and good sound quality. more robust if you're moving home a lot.
   
2. all in one. Good for radio (DAB is excelllent, some cool stations that are not available on analogue. same price or thereabouts as amp & speakers, you get more but trade off sound quality. make sure you get one that has an "external-in" port
   
3. all-in-one plus dvd player. benefits include dolby surround (5 speakers!). can plug in your TV and watch movies too. Ditto
   
   
   

depends what you...

a sensible budget for something decent could be <£150 for 1, <£200 for 2, <£300 for 3.
