This may sound incredibly low rent, but my wife and I have invested in two Bluetooth sound bars at $30 a piece from a nearby convenience store, we use them in the garage / game room and on the deck. They sound great and anyone can link them up with their phone and take over. We usually just put it on Pandora Santana radio and forget it anytime we're entertaining / partying. My neighbor has the Bose jobber, I'm not saying it isn't nice but I wouldn't consider it a good value either. And it doesn't sound any better than my $30 plug in the wall el cheapo unit, at least in my non audiophile opinion.
