What Hi-Fi/Sound-system you blastin'?

As my birthday approaches, in witch, none of you will prop's make a thread about. yay. My Mother is getting me a classic Hi-Fi system, a tall stack with CD player, radio, a Cassette player, the works. although I'm having trouble finding one i quite like the look of, the best i have found is a Sony LBT-G1. simple, and i can put my turntable on top. 
 
Thought id ask what kinds you lot had?  maybe you could improve on what i already plan? how does yours sound?
 
Extra notes: i dont want one of these newfangled sci-fi pieces of crap im seeing. with a 1000 disk changer and shit.
