Needed a hifi/boombox and this seems to have got very good reviews. Argos had it on £119.99 before, then dropped it to £99 and now it's been further reduced to £89.99. This is the cheapest I could find for a well-known retailer.
You can also purchase a refurbished version of this on ebay for £79.99 inc free p&p.
It's got what most people would need, which is a cd player, fm/dab, bluetooth and usb port and is supposed to be pretty loud.

Unfortunately very little stock unless you are in Cumbria, but it's way way better for another £10 quid.
Seriously no comparision with the sound though although I have to say it's quite a bit bigger then the Sony ZS BTY52 I had before which I think is similar to your speaker.
Connect via bluetooth and play the radio using my phone on wifi. You need a good signal or you can the odd buffering issue.
Or you can bluetooth it from a PC or laptop and play via internet.
It will have the room bouncing! Seems great value with led's to boot!
Comment
NFC allows you to pair via Bluetooth by touching the back of your phone (if it has NFC) against the NFC area of the speaker, much like using an oyster card on the Tube or contactless debit/credit payment. It saves the faff of pairing using a PIN/code etc.
I think it's a great addition to any home!!

I don't think there's anything even close to it for around £100 quid. The bigger version is more than double that price £249 although can be had for £199, but hardly something to compare to a unit half the price is it?
