Hi Jacky. Well I have a couple of choices such as the iPad or the laptop and the recent addition which is the talking freeview box. I was looking for a dedicated radio which I can put in the bedroom. I haven't purchased a stereo system for years now and don't know whether it's worth getting one of these Bluetooth speakers instead as I only really listen to sport and very little music!
