I'm looking to recommend a good, inexpensive system for my sister.

I already recommended a pair of ELAC B6 speakers, but now need to find a good all-in-one integrated, CD player, etc.

She listens to mostly blues, folk, light rock at medium levels.

Doesn't need a ton of features, just basic easy functionality.

THANKS!

It doesn't get any simpler than a mini system. Receiver + CD player +/- Bluetooth +/- USB player. From under $200 to over $500.

Want something likely better sounding? Get a stereo receiver from Onkyo or Yamaha or Sony for a smidgen over $100 and add a $50 DVD player.

Want even better sound quality? Get an integrated amplifier  from one Onkyo or Yamaha or Pioneer Elite for ~$300 and add a $50 DVD player. Once you move to the integrated amplifier category you can pick your price point and find at least a half dozen choices.
