I just want something small to sit on my nightstand for when I watch movies or listen to music. Good sound, Bluetooth and fairly small.

Recommendations?

Dunno if the Jawbone Jambox would be small enough (or too spendy)?

I picked one up a few days ago. $32 after the ubiquitous 20% off BB&B coupon. The sound is surprisingly good.

They like the Beacon Audio Phoenix, which is apparently a rebranded version of the Satechi ST-66BTA (available for $40 on Amazon [www.amazon.com] )

David,

Any issues with the "beeping" that occurs with power on and connecting? Is it really as loud and/or annoying as some of the reviewers made it out to be? Thanks.

It's loud and annoying, but not horrible.

Ohhh, well then you're not going to like this:

The pic is of the non-BT version for scale, but they're identical in appearance. The sound is *very* good, though a touch bassy for my tastes. Still I use it several times a week.

But you *did* stipulate best.


If you're not married to the BT idea, something like *this* might be worth consideration:

Add a few feet of simple patch cable and it could be very suitable for bedside audio. Stereo is really not relevant in a small speaker or speaker set. I've got three of these and they sound quite decent.

Somebody online had them for $20 apiece, so I got three, just because they're handy. No AC adapter though. You'll have to dig one up.

Also, if there's no need to share the audio, a pair of good headphones could give you actual stereo if that's a consideration, at a modest price.
