What about the iPod HiFi? I read that it sounds really good for its price. It also has digital and analogue inputs, so it might be a good partner for the SBs. N -- Nikhil Nikhil's Profile:

Kyle, What are you going the be playing through it? If it's rock/pop, then seriously consider a keyboard/acoustic guitar amp combo. I really don't think the Tivoli would cut the mustard in terms of volume without room gain effects. -- Andyoz

How about a Bose Wave, you could buy the cheaper radio only version as you won't require a CD if you're using it with a SB. It has an auxillary input and the new model has a flat top which looks ideal for sitting the SB on. I've got the old style CD version which sounds great for a second system.

He, he...so true There's also these to consider and I beleive Slim devices have been known to use this system for show demo's. They have aux power but no grilles so may get damaged if the porch party gets out of hand??? http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0706/audioengine_5.htm

If we're talking self-powered speakers, the favourites of AVS Forum are 'Swans' (http://www.swanspeaker.com/mul/index.asp), studio monitors like the M200 or T200a. However I believe the OP was looking for something that fits in one case with a handle, i.e. a boombox. Some devices that are

For outdoor listening, I use a full range keyboard amplifier/speaker system (12 woofer + tweeter). Mines an old Fender KXR60 and I have had loads of fun with through the years. Keyboard amps are designed to have areasonably linear freq. response. It doesn't have auxiliary power socket but I am

These probably don't qualify as a boomboxes, and I'm not sure if they are in the price range you are looking at - but the Denon M3x series offers excellent sound in a compact box at a relatively reasonable price.
