Budget system? What's that? I've blown the budget on every system I was lucky to own.

NAD 372 integrated:  $50 at swap meet

Onkyo C490 (?) cd changer:  $150 new

Kicker 6000 outdoor speakers: $80 new at Costco.

I listen to this far more than I do to my main rig, cuz I have it on whenever I play with my dog and/or bbq.  So pretty much every day.   Killer sound on the cheap.

Cables are all freebies or whatever.  Total: $280.
