Thanks guys - yes, I think we will go with Beosound 1 and not worry about DAB.
It looks, feels and sounds better than the Bose, and costs quite a bit less than the (rather ugly) Meridian.
Also, I've had a Century performing the same functions for me for many years, and it's been great, but I don't want to let it go and she doesn't want to steal it from me!
