After a new sound system, I'm not too worried about whether it's a dock or mini hifi but size is at a premium as it will live in my smallish room in a shared house. I use an HTC one and about to subscribe to spotify as I never buy any music. Also got an old macbook pro with all my existing music and an ipod shuffle (which won't fit in any dock but could prob run an aux cable from)

Friend has a cracking Bowers and Wilkins z2 but apparently iphone only :'(

Tesco are flogging off old stock of Sony BTX300 bluetooth speakers, very decent sound for the size, and amazing for the price of £35. Be quick though.

3.5mm jack, BT AptX, optical inputs.
Only problem is the volume doesn't go up to 11, which is a gross oversight in my opinion! 😉

You can get an AirPlay app for Android etc. so the B&W ones should be considered. I've got a Z2 and an A5 - they're both excellent.

Have a look at the Polaroid stuff in Asda - very surprising for their size/price.

If you're considering the B&W A5 (or similar), take a look at one of these for less that 1/2 the price:

I bought one last year - very happy with it. Does AirPlay and Bluetooth, plus aux-in. Sounds great.
