Don’t rule out keeping the BL2000 also – I was quite impressed with the sound quality from mine (which also came with a BL3500). They don’t look very attractive, but tucked away in the corner of a small room they can be quite useful, especially as you can control them without the remote (some source selections* and volume control possible).
* BL2000 Mk1 version allows you to select TAPE, CD or RADIO from front panel, Mk2 version allows TV, CD or RADIO.
