But the OP's requirements seem more modest so - at the risk of incurring wrath from purists - humbly suggest the Bose SoundLink Mini. I first heard one in a shop in Reykjavik (yes - capital of Iceland) and asked where the sub was 'cos the sound was so good. Bought one when we got back to the UK (mine's a Mk 1), and now several of my friends have done the same having listened to mine. I've connected it to SBTs (via analogue obvs), iPod, iPhone / iPad (direct and via Bluetooth) and it always pleases. Not sure of pricing where you are but used ones are available.

Hi All, I have now put my Squeezebox Touch in my bed room. Normally I use my headphones but thinking of a small active speaker to connect. It should be not used to play loud but good quality sound at low level of volume. Do you have any advice? Budget could be up to 200$ If required. Thanks in advance for your support.
