I'm looking for recommendations for a speaker or speaker system that will connect wirelessly (Bluetooth, I presume) to a Nexus 7 2013 and a couple of laptops to play music at room volume. It doesn't need to be portable and mains power is a requirement, and as the space for it is under/next-to the TV if it took a 3.5mm auxiliary input for the TV sound that could be a benefit - is there a soundbar that might fit the bill?

Can anyone suggest a make/model I should be looking at? Budget is ideally under-£100 but might be stretched as we approach Christmas. I've seen various online reviews for models from Creative (D100, D200), Samsung (YA-SBR510) and Soundfreaq (SFQ-01A), but I haven't heard any of them with my own ears and I've been searching by budget rather than expeience. I'm not even sure where to go to hear them, as there aren't many old fashioned audio shops about these days. Anything from Bose seems to be above budget.

Many thanks for reading..

Check out some of the offerings by Edifier, although above your budget, I would recommend the Edifier Spinnakers :)
 
Christ that's cheap, I paid £289 when they first hit the market!
 
Looks a good spec and a good deal, unfortunately I just can't see that design working in the location (the speakers are too tall for the shelf under the TV, there's possibly some room to one side of it but not for a speaker on either side) - but I'll bounce it off my partner for her opinion and to see if she's any ideas on how it could be made to work. Thanks.
 
Gadget show have reviewed bluetooth speakers quite a few times. It's a reasonable starting point.
 
Many thanks for all the suggestions, I've been offline for a while due a really ballsed-up couple of weeks. I've been able to pick up a Creative ZiiSound D5 this week, the previous model to the current one, and I'm very happy with it so far. It was brand new, but reduced down to a price well within the original budget.
