Hi everyone.
Want to thank you all for your responses.
Al; had seen the A2 and am considering since it is at the upper end of the budget.
WP: Looks like a great system, perhaps for the home some day. Thanks.
Mofi: definitely in the budget, thank you.
Rok; have considered bose, especially since I heard damn good sound coming from some integrated iPod player at a recent meeting.
Have considered an inexpensive older receiver. I do have the AR 7s.
And a Scott, however am not to keen on bringing them to work.
