This is for a friend who is giving it to his sister for Christmas. Their family has a strict dollar value they assign every year so all presents are equal in value. I don't think it's a big deal if nominal shipping costs are tax throws it a little above $100 but it's a fairly strict limit. I'm not sure what's available in this price range in the way of powered speakers! Bluetooth connectivity would be a plus but not required. I'm thinking edifier might have something pretty decent certainly better than a soundbar but they may require a little bit of a discount to get the price to $100.
