MrsS wants some tunes in the kitchen/dining room and has requested a compact 'one-box' system with iPod dock, CD and DAB. There seems to be plenty of dock systems around, many with FM/DAB, but very few with CD also. Would anyone care to suggest anything which might fit the bill? This will probably sit in a window sill, or small shelf, so I don't want anything too large. Budget wise I guess no more than around £300.

If you can do without the CD (and get Spotify) I would say Sonos. If not http://www.johnlewis.com/denon-d-m39-dab-fm-cd-mic... is meant to be good.

Am not sure you will get a CD player any more as an iPod doc what the way to be rid of loads of cd's. Why not go wireless, what is the benefit of a dock? Geneva Model S is my choice currently. The Loewe Air Speaker is a cracking unit too and under £300 today.

Just bought my son this for Christmas (cost less than that in the Black Friday deals)

Doesn't have a dock but you could plug one in

Yep, Sonos and Spotify / Napster is the way forward here. You won't need the CD or the iPod dock.

That will act as Bluetooth speakers, so the OP might not need a dock with it.
