    With that Yamaha you don't have to use the Basf tower because it's a combination of a cd/tuner/amplifier.
    A stand-alone cd player that also plays MP3 is not very common in a small footprint, an example is the Denon @Mister X mentioned (BTW, I'm not sure it plays MP3, the manual does not say it does, and I don't like the fact that it's a 3-disc changer. Those mechanics always go wrong).
    Denon also has the DCD-F107 but that one is a bit wider than the Basf system.
    Teac has the PD-H380 which is 215mm wide, that matches the Basf system pretty nice, and the PD-H01 or the PD-301-X that even has a digital tuner built-in.

    You guys got more of the Yamaha Mini's then we did but that's a nice looking unit and looks really close in size.

    If you look for a cd player sized 210 - 280 wide, there is not an abundance of players to choose from.
    The Basf=Aiwa set is 210mm wide so you have limited choice. And you want to have a bit of similar looks.

    It quickly comes down to something from mini systems made by Yamaha, Kenwood, Onkyo, Denon and Sony.
    The Teac I mentioned is also part of a system stack but not very easy to find, at least in this part of the world.

    I'm looking at the AIWA Version and the directions are on the bottom (this is in Japanese).

    It looks like it only displays either the timer time or present time by pressing the "Present Time" button. These units are so rare it's hard to find much information.

    The present time button does nothing..alle other do something. So i can set the timer or sleep and yes that works. But in normal mode...the time display always stays the same..no advancement.

    ok..the timer still has issues but...

    this is the perfect combination as a compact hifi and super speakers. I tried several combination but these silver metal beovox cx100 are perfect and the sound coming out of these is just incredible. So much bass.
    I bought them second hand and renewed the cones and everything, put blue cloth on...
    and now i'm in love ;-)

    It looks great with those speakers. We got some B&O Speakers over here but mostly larger.
